Củ Chi Tunnels

  Củ Chi Tunnels, located just northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, is an extensive network of underground tunnels that played a significant role during the Vietnam War, stretching over 250 kilometers. Built by the Viet Cong, this intricate system served as hiding spots, storage for supplies, and even hospitals, providing essential support during military operations. Visitors can explore various sections of the tunnels and learn about the ingenious traps and life underground, which is particularly fascinating during the dry season between December and April when conditions are more accessible. The site also features exhibitions, including artifacts and videos, offering a deeper understanding of the historical context. Situated in the Củ Chi District, it provides a stark yet educational glimpse into Vietnam's tumultuous past.
