Itinerary
Cu Chi Tunnels, some of the most famous underground networks of pathways, hideouts, sleeping quarters, meeting rooms, hospitals, and Hoang Cam Stove. These narrow tunnels provide barely enough space for a single person to crawl their way through, though some are now wider to accommodate visitors. Also, learn that the mere 10–13 feet (3–4 m) thick level of upper soil can support the bearing weight of a 55-ton (50 mT) tank and the explosive damage of bombs. Watch an insightful film about the wartime experience before exploring the tunnel's trap doors and underground quarters further. Then visit huge bomb craters left from the war, the Garment- Factory Ammunition and Souvenir Shops, and the Museum of Self-Made Weapons. Get the exhilarating opportunity to fire an M-15, AK-47, and a carbine rifle at the National Defense Sports Shooting Range for a true wartime experience.
