Day 20 : Cuchi Tunnels
We then drive to visit the Cuchi
Tunnels. At the height of the
Vietnam War, the tunnel system
stretched from the outskirts of
Saigon all the way to the Cambodian
border of over 250 kilometres of
tunnels. The tunnel system, built
over 25 years starting in the
1940s, let the Viet Minh and,
later, the Viet Cong, control a huge
rural area. It was an underground
city with living areas, kitchens,
storage, weapons factories, field
hospitals, command centers. In
places, it was several stories
deep and housed up to 10,000 people
who virtually lived underground for
years.... getting married, giving
birth,
going to school. The ground here is
hard clay, which made this whole
thing possible. But even so, the
planning and construction was
incredible. People dug all this
with hand tools, filling reed
baskets and dumping the dirt into
bomb craters. They installed large
vents so they could hear approaching
helicopters, smaller vents for air
and baffled vents to dissipate
cooking smoke. There were also
hidden trap doors and gruesomely
effective bamboo-stake booby traps.
Today, the trees and bushes have
grown back. And since 1988, two
sections of tunnels have been open
for visitors. Continue our way to
Tayninh where we witness the noon
time messes at Cao Dai Holy temple.
