War Remnants Museum
The outside area of this large museum is filled with US military gear that was left behind after the war, including tanks, helicopters and other armoured vehicles. I got the impression this was just a lure to get American tourists to visit though, so they could be properly educated about the war from the Vietnamese perspective inside the museum.
The exhibits portray an extremely one-sided and anti-American view of history, and it was difficult to know exactly how much of the historical information could be entirely trusted, but it was impossible not to be shaken by the photographs and testimonies from the victims of the chemical weapons used by the US.
