The Cu Chi Tunnels are a large network of connecting tunnels were built by the Viet Cong to use as hiding spots during the American War. They also served as communication routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for plenty of North Vietnamese fighters, and played a vital role in combating the growing American military effort. When you arrive here, you will first be shown a 3D movie about the largest American ground operation of the Vietnam War. Follow your guide, explore the complex system and learn about how soldiers used the tunnels in the war.

For an additional fee, you can try to fire an M16 rifle at the shooting site. Enjoy the most popular food during war days here – the cassava, before you make your way to have lunch.
