Cu Chi Tunnels
Cu Chi Tunnels were a part of the extensive underground network that the Vietnamese Congress used as a hideaway during the war. You can now go through some of the safer parts of the tunnel to experience the conditions of the Vietcong during the war. Avoid visiting if you are claustrophobic. A popular day trip from Ho Chi Minh, it can be reached by a 1.5-hour speedboat, apart from driving. Morning and afternoon tours are available that last around 6 hours.
The tour generally starts off with a short black and white movie from the 1950s about the 'Evil nature of the American Invaders'. After the movie, you can walk around the war memorial park. The most interesting things to see here include the metal-spiked booby traps and the wartime medical tents. You can also buy flip flops made from old rubber tires, just like the Viet Cong used, and even eat rice congees, a favorite meal of the 43rd sapper battalion. Those who aren't claustrophobic can try to lower themselves into the tight tunnels and explore them. One can also shoot an AK-47 at a target range by paying extra. An extensive 30 km labyrinth of tunnels containing entire cities inside was constructed purely by hand and simple tools. Initially, the tunnels were used during the French colonial rule but were later expanded and used more than ever during the Vietnamese War against America.
