The Cu Chi Tunnels, a legendary underground network stretching over 220 km, are a must-see destination for both Vietnamese and international visitors interested in Vietnam War history. Recognized as a significant historical site, the tunnels played a crucial role in the Vietnamese resistance against U.S. forces and are considered a symbol of courage and resilience.

Located approximately 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels can be explored through guided tours. Tours typically depart at 7:45 AM or 12:45 PM from the  your hotel in District 1. Along the journey, enjoy scenic views of lush rice fields and rivers where ducks and water buffaloes swim—an image far removed from the area's wartime devastation when Cu Chi was designated a "free target zone."

Upon arrival, visitors have the opportunity to walk through a portion of the tunnels, explore hidden chambers, and gain insight into the challenging conditions faced by resistance soldiers. Experience cooking with the smokeless stoves used during the war and sample the simple foods that sustained the soldiers. For those feeling adventurous, there's even an option to try firing an AK-47 (own expense), one of the iconic weapons used during the conflict.

The tour concludes with a return to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving around 3:00 PM or 7:00 PM, offering a powerful and immersive glimpse into Vietnam’s wartime past.
