Retken kuvaus
On this tour from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), you'll leave behind the city's hustle and bustle to delve into one of the most significant historical relics from recent memory.
Before reaching the Cu Chi tunnels, you'll visit residents to gain an understanding of life in the area. You'll learn about their culture, customs, and get a glimpse into history through their eyes. Upon arrival at the Cu Chi tunnels, you'll learn about their strategic importance. The tunnel complex was initially constructed in 1948 as a hideout from French air attacks. By 1965, it was estimated to consist of 200 km of tunnels, including hospitals, schools, meeting rooms, kitchens, and sleeping quarters. Today, the Vietnamese government has preserved approximately 75 km of the Cu Chi tunnels as a memorial park. Your local guide will lead you on an intriguing tour of the Cu Chi tunnels. You'll learn about the living conditions, hardships faced, and the remarkable ingenuity used to sustain life in the tunnels.
You'll walk past remnants of the heavy bombing campaigns during the Indochina conflict, discover hidden entrances beneath your feet, sample some of the food that local fighters survived on, and even have an opportunity to venture into the tunnels and explore the complex. After exploring the Cu Chi Tunnel, you'll savour a local sandwich on your return journey to Ho Chi Minh City. This historical tour will leave you with a deeper understanding of the local impacts of the conflicts of the 20th century.
