Củ Chi Tunnels : info and guided tour

Introduction to Củ Chi Tunnels

The Củ Chi Tunnels are a vast underground network located northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, in Củ Chi District. This tourist site lets visitors explore narrow passages, hideouts, command posts, and different underground living spaces, now set up for visits in the Phú Hiệp area.

Originally designed as a refuge and transport system, these tunnels became especially important during Vietnam’s 20th-century conflicts. They became famous for their scale, organization, and role in the local resistance, making them a major memorial site in the country.

The visit highlights the ingenuity of this underground complex, with its low passages, discreet openings, and structures designed for everyday life in wartime. Visitors also discover reconstructed features that help explain living conditions, logistics, and adaptation to the underground environment.

The Củ Chi Tunnels attract visitors both for their historical importance and for the hands-on experience they offer. The site provides a close look at an exceptional war heritage, and it is now one of the best-known places around Ho Chi Minh City to understand Vietnam’s recent history.
