Explore Vietnam's Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta for a Unique Experience
- Cu Chi Tunnels:
Travel to Vietnam and experience the Cu Chi Tunnels, a one-of-a-kind underground village with an intricate network of over 250 km long. This must-see destination is not only a hiding place and a battleground but also a safe haven for long-term living, complete with smoke-free kitchens, storage, handicraft and tailor stores, weapon factories, healthcare rooms, meeting rooms, and command centers. The tunnel system connects with thousands of tiny warming houses where local people could live, get married, and raise their kids. Discover the strong will, tenacity, intelligence, creation, and pride of inhabitants over there and see a symbol of Vietnamese revolutionary heroism.
During your visit, you can:
Watch a short documentary film about Cu Chi during the war (in many foreign languages options)
Discover the cover of secret refuge and an incredible network of Cu Chi tunnels.
Crawl through the narrow tunnels made by hand.
Gain more knowledge about history, weapons, and damaged self-construct traps.
Try to shoot with AK47 or MK16 riffles in a well-supervised area (*optional with surcharge)
