Vietnam’s Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, is the area around the former border between North and South Vietnam. Historically, it was a narrow band of terrain extending from the Laos border to the coast, 5 km on either side of the Ben Hai River, roughly along the 17th parallel north.
The area saw heavy fighting in the war, and the ruins of old American military bases still exist. Even if you’re not interested in the history, the area has some spectacular mountain scenery and rugged jungles.
While the actual border was marked by the Ben Hai River, most historical sights (i.e., American bases) are along Highway 9, which runs parallel to the river several km to the south. This road runs to the Lao border and continues onward.
