Cu Chi Tunnels

Cu Chi used to be a bitter battleground  of Vietcong soldiers against foreigners for many years during Vietnam war. The tunnel system is stretched over 250 km from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) to the Cambodian border and was three levels deep. The network included innumerable trap doors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens. Today the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction giving the visitror a unique experience and a feel of what underground life. There's even an opportunity to fire off rounds from an AK 47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range.
