Plan a trip to Central Vietnam

The Demilitarised Zone is the former dividing strip along the Ben Hai River in central Vietnam, now visited for the Hien Luong Bridge, the Vinh Moc tunnels and Truong Son National Cemetery. The decision that shapes the trip is how to cover it: a guided day from Hue or Dong Hoi, or stops on the Highway 1 transfer between them.
