My family visited this site just last week and recommend it highly. The kids (ages 8 and 12) enjoyed crawling through the tunnels and walking through the forest. They never got bored - hurray! This was also a learning experience for them, which is always good. A little hot, so bring water, and at the end a shooting range is offered -- a bit ...

If you have a chance eventhough a chance in your life, you should visit Cu chi Tunnels (Địa đạo Củ chi - in Vietnamese, the Vietnamese people's state - of - art plant under Sai gon river in Vietnam War.
I liked the idea if being in a place that I had read may stories about. The guide was nice enough in his disdain for Americans and his recollection of the war. Interersting also was the opportunity to fire military weapons in the jungle where so many died, but to do so in peace. The invitation to fire weapons captured in the war with the Americans ...

How could people live and work in the small tunnels? Amazing Vietnamese people! THey must have loved their country so much to endure such difficulties in fighting for their freedom. Cheap and original. Go there! Try moving inside the tunnels. You'll admire them like me.
It's really worth to go. You can see the magic of Vietnamese soldiers and citizens who had worked so hard to build almost a little village inside the earth. Amazing. :)

An amazing experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/01/07
We just loved Vietnam.We were there in Feb.2007 and with the wonderful, professonal and knowledgable tour guides from Trails of Indochina our experience in Saigon and the Cu Ci Tunnels are everlasting. There was nothing I did not like about the people ,food or culture , My wife and I can't wait to go back and take in even more of that wonderful country.
I like in VIet Nam where i was born and live.City life also offers people many moral benefits, help me open-mined. This place can have the best education, cultural palace and public....
A two-hour drive northwest out of Ho Chi Minh City brings you to the area of Cu Chi, famous for its maze of tunnels used by the Viet Nam in the war against the United States. Often little more than one meter high and 80 centimeters across, these tunnels were supply routes, kitchens, hospitals and training facilities. Crawl down a tunnel yourself (if you can fit) or try an AK47 rifle!
