And the tunnels system was extended over an area of 250 kilometers during the Vietnam War. Like stepping through history, you will learn how the local re-creation of life in and around the tunnels. Hidden tunnel entrances, food preparation and through ingenuity making shoes from tyres, and ammunition reclamation.
