The Cu Chi tubes are a huge system of underground tubes that connect to each other. They are in the Cu Chi district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and are part of a much bigger system of tunnels that run under most of the country.

The tunnel network is about 200 km long and has hospitals, command centers, kitchens, warehouses, storage facilities, offices, and places to make weapons.

The Cu Chi tunnels were the site of several military actions during the Vietnam War. They were also the Viet Cong's main base of operations during the 1968 Tet Offensive.

The Cu Chi Tunnels are now a popular place for people to visit. There are tours that can help you learn more about Vietnam's past.
