The Cu Chi Tunnels is one of the most famous historical vestiges of Vietnam's national liberation war. The network consists of over 200 kilometers of tunnels connected with one another like a cobweb. Inside are fighting posts, kitchens, food and ammunition storage caches, medic care chambers, meeting chambers, commanding chambers as well as living quarters which enabled guerillas to held on to the land and fight for years. From this underground village, the revolutionary forces staged the 1968 general offensive and the Ho Chi Minh campaign in April 1975 to liberate South Vietnam.
