Cu Chi Tunnels - the unique underground village with the complex network of over 250 km long, a must- see destination for every first time visitors in Vietnam!

The tunnel system wasn’t only created for hiding and fighting the enemy, but it was also a safe hidden city for long term living with smoke-free kitchens, storage, handicraft and tailor stores, weapon factories, healthcare rooms, meeting rooms and command centers which connect together with thousand tiny-warming houses where local people could live, get married and raise their kids.
