Cu Chi Tunnels
The legendary tunnels of the Vietnamese guerrillas, preserved from the Vietnam War with the United States
South Vietnam (in particular, the Cu Chi region) was a hotbed of underground resistance during the American expansion. Now this suburban area is called the underground village: its labyrinths stretch underground for 187 km - from Saigon to the very Cambodian border. The tunnels were dug for 15 years with improvised means right under the noses of unsuspecting American infantry.
The small village of Cu-Chi, which took its name from rubber, would have remained one of the countless inconspicuous villages in which American troops carried out their "actions to clean up the area", if not for the amazing perseverance and hard work of the locals. The tunnel system they created, some of which even have multiple "floors", includes countless entrances, living quarters, warehouses, weapons workshops, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens. Above the main tunnel, which is 70 cm wide and 90 cm high, there is a 3-4 meter brickwork. The tunnel can withstand heavy artillery fire and a 100-kilogram bomb.
Tall American soldiers could not penetrate the labyrinths, and those who did manage to do so were met by numerous traps - so only a few returned from there. Today, the Cu Chi Tunnels have become a major tourist attraction, providing a unique insight into the underground life of the Vietnamese guerrillas.
Currently, a tourist attraction has been organized on the basis of two elements of the complex.
