Cu Chi Tunnels is both a solid base of the Military Region Commission, Sai Gon - Gia Dinh High Command and a transformation battlefield, contributing significantly to the reunification of the country. The monuments are now preserved in two areas, Ben Duoc and Ben Dinh. Cu Chi Tunnels are about 200 kilometers long and have ventilation systems hidden under the bushes, can withstand the destructive power of the largest blockbusters of the US military, which makes it even more interesting and attractive.
Traveling to Cu Chi Tunnels, I had the memorable moments in the journey as I had to weave through hot, dark tunnels with the feeling of suffocation and breathlessness. It was scary at first, but then it became more and more thrilling and amazing. I would never forget my journey in the Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam.

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
