Cu Chi Tunnels

The Cu Chi Tunnels, which are around 60 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, are a must-see half-day excursion and one of the most popular tours for visitors to the city.

The Viet Cong's military operations during the Vietnam War were based on this extensive tunnel system, which extends for more than 250 kilometers. The small tunnel served as living quarters for soldiers as well as hospitals, communication bases, hiding places, and supply routes. The opportunity to crawl down a part of the tunnel system is typically included in a tour; this experience enhances your appreciation of the tenacity and adaptability of the soldiers who lived here. The tunnels give a fascinating insight into the challenges encountered by soldiers throughout the fight and the tactics that strengthened the VC's resistance against American forces.
