Cu Chi Tunnel
Cu Chi Tunnels - The Subterranean Labyrinth
Vietnam is a country that doesn’t shy from its past. During my 17 years living in Vietnam, I was lucky enough to learn so much about the turbulent past, especially with regard to the Vietnam War. The shocking stories always fascinated me – it’s one thing to see the stories in movies, but to hear tales direct from people who lived through it…well, words fail me.
A resilient nation though, many have turned the haunting past into a lifeline for their families. One such man is Uncle Nam, an ex-soldier who now offers personal tours to the tunnels of Co Chi, a labyrinth of underground passageways that were once a hiding place for thousands of soldiers during the Vietnam War.
I wrote about Uncle Nam and the Co Chi tunnel experience in our blog a while back.
