The tunnels of Củ Chi are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels located in the Củ Chi district of Ho chin Minh (Saigon), Vietnam.
The tunnels were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous North Vietnamese fighters. The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to American forces, and helped to counter the growing American military effort. Today a small part of the huge network is open for tourism, with explanatory (old) videos, a testimony of recent history!
