via Vietnam Plus, 01 March 2021: Ho Chi Minh City is seeking to list the tunnels used in the Vietnam-American war as Unesco World Heritage.
When people think of the most modern and crowded city in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City first comes to mind.
But the city, the country’s largest, also has a great deal of historical value related to the wars of resistance against the French and American aggressors to offer interest to tourists as well as locals.
One of the most fascinating destinations is Cu Chi guerrilla warfare tunnels, located about 70km from downtown HCM City.
Built by South Vietnamese liberation forces as shelter from US and Sai Gon troops during the war, the site is known over the world, but even many locals have yet to visit the tunnels.
