border of over 250 kilometers of tunnels. The tunnel system, built over 25 years
starting in the 1940s, let the Viet Minh and, later, the Viet Cong, control a
huge rural area. It was an underground city with living areas, kitchens,
storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers. In places, it was
several stories deep and housed up to 10,000 people who virtually lived
underground for years.... getting married, giving birth,going to school. The
ground here is hard clay, which made this whole thing possible. But even so, the
planning and construction was incredible. People dug all this with hand tools,
filling reed baskets and dumping the dirt into bomb craters. They installed
large vents so they could hear approaching helicopters, smaller vents for air
and baffled vents to dissipate cooking smoke. There were also hidden trap doors
and gruesomely effective bamboo-stake booby traps. Today, the trees and bushes
have grown back. And since 1988, two sections of tunnels have been open for
visitors. After Cuchi Tunnels tour. Return Saigon. Overnight at hotel in HCM
