The Tunnels of Cu Chi

The Tunnels of Cu Chi are an extensive network of underground passages near Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, built by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. These tunnels served as hiding spots, supply routes, hospitals, and communication pathways, allowing quick, covert movement and defense against U.S. forces. They feature trapdoors, booby traps, and living quarters, demonstrating the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese fighters. Today, the tunnels are a historical site and tourist attraction, offering visitors insight into wartime strategies and the difficult conditions endured by those who operated within them.
