Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. The Cu Chi Tunnels represent one of the most extensive underground military complexes in history, stretching over 120 kilometers at their peak. Construction began in the late 1940s during the war against French colonial forces and expanded significantly during the Vietnam War. The multi-level network included living quarters, kitchens, meeting rooms, ammunition depots, and medical stations, descending up to 12 meters below ground. The tunnels played a crucial role in Vietnamese military operations, particularly during the Tet Offensive of 1968. The preserved section, located 70 kilometers northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, opened to the public in 1988. The site features several restored tunnel sections, with some widened for tourist access, along with displays of period weapons, traps, and equipment. Original ventilation systems, kitchens, and meeting areas demonstrate how soldiers lived underground for extended periods. The complex also includes examples of booby traps and defensive measures employed during the conflict. Approximately one million visitors tour the Cu Chi Tunnels annually.
