Cu Chi Tunnel is one of the most famous historical vestiges of Viet Nam’s national liberation war during 1945 – 1975. It’s located about 70 km to the northwest of Ho Chi Minh city – centre.

The first parts of short and simple tunnels were established in 1948 in two communes of in north of Củ Chi District. The network consists of approximately 250km of tunnels connected with one another like a spider’s web.

This is a unique and incomparable underground village was used with a lot of work from food and ammunition storage caches, medical care chambers, commanding chambers, meeting chambers, bedrooms, cooking by Hoàng Cầm stoves….

Those who set food in the tunnels cannot help admiring the talent, determination and endurance of the communist guerrillas. They dug and removed tens of thousands of tons of soil and stone with rudimentary tools, and then camouflaged the openings so well that nobody could find them.

Highlight:

  • Visiting historical site will include American weapons gallery, and a bullet riddled tank, variety of ingenious and rather brutal booby traps used by the Viet Cong.
  • Explore the 1-metre high tunnels, a pretty claustrophobic experience – imagine living down there for a while.
  • A chance to fire real weapons including the Ak47, M1, M16, M30, M60.
  • Enjoy cassava dipped in bean salt – the main food that local used for survival during the war. 
  • Movie theatre room: you will have a chance to see documentary of lives under tunnels.
  • Admire rural beauty and peace of the countryside on the way to Cu Chi.
  • Get deeper understanding of Vietnamese history through war relics.
  • Souvenir Shops
