Vinh Moc

The Vinh Moc Tunnels of Vietnam are a testament to human tenacity. Like the tunnels in the south at Cu Chi, soldiers and civilians took to the underground, literally, digging over a mile of tunnels from 1965 to 1966 to support Viet Cong troops and confound U.S. battalions at this strategic position near the line of north-south demarcation. Up to 66 ft. below the surface, multilevel tunnels formed a real community haven, with "living rooms" for families, a conference and performance room, a field hospital, and exit points inland and along the coast. Visitors walk through about 984 ft. of the tunnels in a main artery that is 1.6m high by 1.2m wide, going down three stages. There is a museum at the entrance with photos and testimony of survivors.
