Located at the threshold of
Saigon and adjacent to the revolutionary base,
Cu Chi played an important role in the two wars
of resistance against the old and new colonial
powers. Cu Chi was an "underground village" with
its abyss of interlaced tunnels having a
combined length of more than 200 km. The main
tunnel is 60 - 70 cm wide and 80 - 90 cm high.
Above the tunnel is a layer of earth about 3 m-
4 m thick, enough to sustain the weight of 50
-ton tanks or heavy artillery as well as the
destruction of bombs up to 100 kg. Although it
is an underground communication network, the
tunnel is enlarged here and there into rooms
large enough to hold large meetings, a medical
station or art performances. Those who had set
foot in that tunnel network should greatly
admire the talent, determination and endurance
of the communist guerillas. The soil in Cu Chi
was as hard as stone, but with such rudimentary
handtools as hoes and shovels, they had dug and
removed tens of thousands of tons of earth and
stone, and camouflaged the openings so well that
nobody could find them. Many people have called
it a wonder of the 20th century.
