旅程

We will begin our trip with a visit to the unique Pig market in Ba Ren, Quang Nam, where the entire market revolves around the sale of pigs. This vibrant market showcases a distinct aspect of local culture and economy. On the way to My Lai, we will visit the Khuong My Towers, remnants of the Champa Kingdom, believed to date back to the first half of the ninth century. また、1965年に米軍とクアンナム省の人々との間で繰り広げられた歴史的な戦いを記念するヌイ・タン勝利記念碑も訪れます。

旅を続けると、1968年3月16日に起きた悲劇的な出来事を記録したマイライ博物館に到着します。The museum provides a sobering account of the mass murder of civilians during the Vietnam War. As we explore My Lai village, we will have the opportunity to meet local residents, gaining insight into their lives and the impact of the war on their community.

The village is a poignant reminder of the horrors of conflict, as over 300 unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, were killed by American soldiers during the search for Viet Cong soldiers. This visit encourages reflection on the past and the resilience of the human spirit.
