HCM CITY – CU CHI TUNNEL HALF DAY

The tour guide will pick-you up at your hotel in Distric 1, HCM city

Along the way, observe as the urban scenery transitions into a tranquil rural setting. Witness the passing rice paddy farms, charming roadside vendors, and flocks of ducks, and water buffalo swimming in the river the increasingly lush greenery.

Once we arrive, you will embark on the city’s intricate system of Cu Chi tunnels, a legendary tunnel system with more than 220 km of tunnels.

You’ll have the opportunity to crawl through narrow spaces and witness the intertwining kitchens, bunkers, hospitals, and meeting rooms throughout. Additionally, sit back and watch an insightful documentary to learn more about the tunnel system and its locally crafted traps.

Visit the weapons room and learn how the ingenious Viet Cong soldiers made them. Step in the shoes of a Viet Cong fighter, as you climb through an impressive 155-mile (250-km) long tunnel network and visit a typical gun shooting area.

Some of the most famous underground networks of pathways, hideouts, sleeping quarters, meeting rooms, hospitals, and Hoang Cam Stove, having tapioca – the main food served during the war time.

These narrow tunnels provide barely enough space for a single person to crawl their way through, though some are now wider to accommodate visitors.

Also learn that the mere 10–13 feet (3–4 m) thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton (50 mT) tank and the explosive damage of bombs.

After completing the Cu Chi Tour, tour guides will drop off tourists either at District 1 center or the original pick-up point.
