The tunnels of Củ Chi are an immense network of connecting underground
tunnels located in the Củ Chi district of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, and are part of a much larger network of
tunnels that underlie much of the country. The Củ Chi tunnels were the location
of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the Viet Cong's base of operations for the Tết
Offensive in 1968.
The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving
as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living
quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The tunnel systems were of great
importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to American forces, and helped
achieve ultimate military success.
