Did you know?

The Cu Chi Tunnels stretch over 120 kilometers, forming a vast underground network used for living quarters, storage, and military operations.

During the Vietnam War, the tunnels housed entire communities, including kitchens, hospitals, and command centers.

Many tunnel entrances were cleverly camouflaged and equipped with booby traps to deter enemy soldiers.

The tunnels were dug by hand, often in challenging conditions, and expanded over decades to support guerrilla warfare.

Today, only a small section of the tunnels is open to visitors, with some passages widened for safety and accessibility.

I enjoyed the view and even went outside on the raised platform with safety harness. Would recommend going in the evening to watch the setting sun. The light across the sky is lovely.

The tour guide, Duc, was very knowledgeable and quite humorous. The trip there contained a stop to where they were making eggshell art. Quite interesting but we didn't want to purchase anything. Tunnels were good but this part is quite short, which is a shame as this is the main part. We took the 12pm pick up slot and the traffic on the way back was awful 😖 Nice trip but a long time on the bus.
