Vietnam » Ho Chi Minh City » CU CHI TUNNELS

Cu Chi is an "Underground village" with its labyrinth totaling more than 200 km. The main tunnel is 60 - 70cm wide and 80 - 90cm high. The structure has either a delta shaped or vaulted ceiling, above the tunnel is a layer of earth about 3 - 4m thick, enough to sustain the weight of 50-tonne yanks or heavy artillery as well as the destruction of bombs up to 100kg. Although it is an underground communication network, the tunnel is enlarged here and there in to rooms large enough to hold large meetings, a medical station or art performances. That are the reasons why Cu Chi Tunnel became legendary during the 1960s for its role in facilitating Viet Cong control of a large rural area only 30 to 40km from Saigon.
