By road from your hotel to the Hoc Mon District to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, which is 70 kilometers North West of downtown Ho Chi Minh City. The Cu Chi Tunnel system was created around 1948 to assist Viet Minh in their combat with the French. Building continued over the next 25years until it was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers. In places, it could house up to 10,000 people who virtually lived underground for years.... getting married, raising children. During the American War the entire area of Cu Chi was designated a free fire zone and was heavily bombarded. From 1988, two sections of tunnels have been opened up for visitors.
