...: Cu Chi Tunnel in Vietnam

The Cu Chi Tunnel is about 70 km to the North-West of Ho Chi Minh City Center. This was during the 1960-1975, The Cu Chi Tunnel systems are currently conserved in Ben Dinh Tunnel and the Ben Duoc Tunnel. The Cu Chi Tunnel is the strong base of the Military Zone Party Commitee, Saigon-Gia Dinh Command Post, Cu Chi District Party Commitee, and all the People of Cu Chi District. The site shows how the people of Cu Chi lived and fought before and during the resistance against the American imperialists.

American bombs and wrecked tanks can also be seen around the site. The Ben Dinh Tunnel which is part of the Cu Chi Tunnel system is a well known revolutionary hictoric relic. This was the base of the former leadership and Party Commitee of Cu Chi District, for their accommodations and meetings, a place of unique tactical deployment contributing to the national defending resistance against the enemy.

My first experience firing the AK47. Bullets are cheap and you can get to keep the empty coils. Yay.
The Ben Douc Tunnel which is also part of the Cu Chi Tunnel is a unique architectural structure, this is a system of tunnels deeply underground, with several floors, a labyrinth of intricate ways and windings over 200 km long, wherein are sections for accommodations, meetings and preparing battles. The tunnel system embodies the undaunted will intelligence and pride of Cu Chi people, a symbol of Vietnamese revolutionary heroism. Hence, Cu Chi has been awarded the title of ‘Iron Land and Broze Citadel’.
