Upon your arrival, the introductory video will give you an overall understanding of how this tunnel network was formed and how Vietnamese people could survive here in such severe conditions during the Vietnam war.
You then have a chance to witness its unique architecture and structure and have a deeper understanding of why it plays a crucial role in Vietnam’s history by having a look at its system of living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, storage, hospitals, weapon factories. Although the US army had put in a lot of effort, they were not successful in bringing down the system completely since it was protected with a lot of hidden traps, counterfeit bunkers and booby traps. A half-way break gives you an opportunity to experience real life in the tunnels by letting you try some special tea and the guerrilla fighter's food named sesame and boiled cassava or time for those who want to try their aim on the shooting range, firing the same model guns that were used in the war.
