The Cu Chi Tunnels

In Ben Dinh, not far from Saigon are the Cu Chi tunnels. The Viet Cong, during the American war dug themselves out of harms was from the American B52s - the result was a huge network or tunnels by the Saigon river. This was a great day out and very interesting. The whole place is set up quite well for tourists complete with a sample tunnel to go through, sample food that the tunnel inhabitants used to eat (tapiochas), a firing range and some other displays. Great fun well - worth the visit.

The Viet Cong even had backward sandals to confuse people running after them.
