Museum, Scenic

The Cu Chi Tunnels are chiefly a huge war museum offering visitors a sneak peak at the subversive life of Viet Cong-era soldiers. Comprising more than 120km of tunnels, they were first started around 1948 when the Viet Cong were combating the French. Nowadays, the restored tunnels are one of Vietnam’s top attractions and are particularly popular with non-Vietnamese tourists. People follow the routes of the subversive army and before entering the tunnels visitors will have the chance to watch a short movie and get to appreciate beforehand how this extraordinary tunnel system actually works.
