Cu Chi Tunnels
Watch an introductory video about the Cu Chi Tunnels’ history and the resilience of the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War.
The Cu Chi Tunnels, located in the Cu Chi District of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, are a remarkable network of underground tunnels that played a pivotal role during the Vietnam War. Initially constructed in the late 1940s for the fight against the French, and extensively expanded thereafter, these tunnels served as a vital base of operations for the Viet Cong. Spanning over 250 kilometers and equipped with living quarters, command centers, and even hospitals, the tunnels are a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese people. Today, they stand as a significant tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the underground life during the war, showcasing the clever design features like disguised ventilation shafts and booby traps. The Cu Chi Tunnels highlight the guerrilla warfare tactics of the Viet Cong.
