Introduce you the popular Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam

Cu Chi Tunnels is a famous revolutionary historical site, located in Phu My Hung Commune, Cu Chi district, about 70 kilometers to the Northwest of the center of Ho Chi Minh City. The tunnel system is 250 kilometers long, running around under the ground, and completely made from rudimentary tools such as a hoe and a soil excavator.

Over 20 years of construction, Cu Chi Tunnels had been finished not by modern techniques but from the hands of the local people who were determined to preserve every inch of their homeland. Since then, Cu Chi has been the home of many classes of soldiers with intelligent guerrilla fighting that had shocked the American enemy, greatly contributing to the liberation of their homeland.
