The highest floors of the underground tunnel are about 3 meters away from the surface, which is able to withstand the weight of tanks, armored vehicles. There are also some deeper places that can resist small bombs. Some hatches have been designed into combat bays and very flexible sniper racks. Around the mouth of the tunnel are also arranged many bunkers and mines.

Over 300 years of establishment and development, the Mekong Delta currently preserves a long tradition of cultural values with its own nuances.
The Mekong Delta is a delta with intermittent river life. Natural characteristics have also profoundly affected the process of forming the river culture here. The river culture is also manifested in the peasant culture. The gardens here are gathered together into a large space into lush orchards with typical fruits such as durian, longan, milk breast, rambutan, etc.
There is also a unique feature in Mekong Delta that no other place in Vietnam has, it is a floating market. Visiting the floating markets, visitors will see the abundance of life in the river. The market is a real trading place for the locals, they come to exchange products. There are many floating markets in the Mekong Delta that have been formed for a long time and have been exploited into tourism activities such as Cai Rang floating market (Can Tho), Cai Be floating market (Tien Giang), Phung Hiep floating market (Hau Giang), etc.

Excellent experience
It was an experience, that you will never forget, how it would have been during the war, with no light, food and much air and space. If you are able it is definitely worth going in the tunnel. It is not very long and a little bit of light and air. We will come back Cu Chi Tunnels again
