Originally constructed by Vietnamese resistance fighters, the tunnels served as:

Living quarters

As you explore this remarkable underground system, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the extraordinary determination and resourcefulness of the people who lived and fought here.

Learn Wartime Survival Techniques

Throughout the site, your guide will introduce many ingenious survival methods developed during the war.

Discover the famous Hoang Cam smokeless kitchen, specially designed to disperse cooking smoke and avoid enemy detection. Learn how the tunnel system was reinforced beneath 3–4 meters (10–13 feet) of compact soil, allowing it to withstand heavy bombing and military vehicles.
