  Cu Chi Tunnels

  The Cu Chi Tunnels, about 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City, are a vast underground network stretching over 200 kilometers, built and used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. These tunnels played a crucial role as hiding spots, supply routes, command centers, and even living quarters, allowing guerrilla fighters to evade and launch surprise attacks on enemy forces. Today, the site has been preserved as a war memorial and tourist attraction, where visitors can crawl through a section of the narrow tunnels, see hidden trapdoors, and learn about the incredible resourcefulness and endurance of the Vietnamese fighters who lived and fought underground for years.
