The Tunnels Of Cu Chi - Ben Dinh Full Day Tour

The Tunnels Of Cu Chi - Ben Dinh Full Day Tour

The Củ Chi Tunnels are definitely worth the day trip out of Sài Gòn,

to see it is better than you could ever expect having heard about them back home.

Just 70km (40 miles) northwest from downtown, the Củ Chi area lies at the end of

the Hồ Chí Minh Trail and was the base from which Vietnamese guerillas used to attack Sài Gòn.

As a result, the whole area became a "free-fire zone" and was carpet-bombed in one of many American "scorched-earth" policies. But the residents of Củ Chi took their war underground,

literally, developing a network of tunnels that, at its height, stretched as far as Cambodia

and included meeting rooms, kitchens, and triage areas -- an effective network for

waging guerilla warfare on nearby U.S. troops.
