Tunnels - Tayninh Temples
Drive to visit

stretched from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian
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, drive to Long Hoa and visit Cao
Dai Cathedral. Overnight at hotel in Ho Chi Minh City
