The document discusses visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam. Located 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels can be reached by bus, motorbike, or car rental. Visitors purchase tickets and then explore the tunnels either on foot or via electric bus. They see a temple and watch an introductory video before crawling through some of the 200 km of tunnels, getting a sense of what life was like for soldiers during the war. Other attractions include an outdoor museum and spike traps. A day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels offers a more fascinating experience than expected.

1. Cu Chi Tunnels more fascinating than your expectation
Not only do discover the mystery underground, in Cu Chi Tunnels, you can also get pleasure
excursions on the lake – a little copy of East Sea and participate in entertainments.
Located about 70 km away from Ho Chi Minh center, you can go to the Cu Chi Tunnels by
motorcycles or renting cars, but buses are cheapest. There are bus routes to Cu Chi like 13,
74, 94... and from here, you can take the bus No 79 to Ben Duoc temple. Riding canoe on
Saigon River to Cu Chi is also a new experience and is attractive to more tourists currently,
but the cost is fairly expensive and you will derive from the Bach Dang Wharf.
After purchasing tickets visit (VND15,000-80,000/person depending on your ages,
Vietnamese or foreigners), then you can go on foot or by electric bus (VND5,000/person) to
Ben Duoc temple. You can see three doors temple gate in front with yin-yang curved tiles
like village temples or a monument of soldiers who fought and sacrificed on land of Saigon Gia Dinh in two battles against the French and Americans. Hence, when stepping inside, you
will find an open, peaceful, sacred but spectacular space.

2. After visiting the temple, you will have to buy tickets (VND20,000-90,000/person), move to
the tunnels area which is attractive to not only veterans but also young people and foreign
tourists. First, you will watch an introduction video tape about the whole combat of Cu Chi
citizens and tunnels model.
The tunnels system has a length of 200km but currently, only some are opened to visitors,
with the extended tunnels for easy travel and light system as well. However, you are not able
to avoid having to weave through the heat and dark tunnel segments with suffocating feeling,
but this will be the most memorable experience. When moving out of the tunnels, enjoying
the light filled space with fresh air, you will be more poignant with the silent sacrifice of
people in the war time.

3. Then continue to visit the outdoor museum of homemade weapons, training ground and
Hoang Cam kitchen which is also interesting and attractive inside the tunnels. See the
underground spike trap which sometimes make your hair stand on end.
A full day in Cu Chi for discovery is more interesting than your expectation.
