Cu Chi Tunnels
Located about 70 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City center, Cu Chi is known as the “area of steel” from wartime. This extensive tunnel system covered more than 200 km and functioned as an underground village during the Vietnam-American War. It is a key site for both Vietnamese and international visitors interested in the war history.
Ben Dinh Tunnels
At the Ben Dinh Tunnels, visitors receive a short introduction and watch a video explaining how the tunnels were built and how people survived harsh wartime conditions. The remaining tunnels include living spaces like kitchens and bedrooms alongside storage areas, weapon factories, field hospitals, and command centers that supported tunnel residents. The tunnels also feature many hidden trap doors and traps used for security. After the visit, tea and cassava, the typical guerrilla food, are served. There is a break to rest or an option for adults to pay extra to try shooting guns. The tour ends with a return to Ho Chi Minh City.
