These are the tunnels that were used during the "American war" The little Vietnamese men would live underground as long as they had to and set traps for the Americans that would try to get in them. They cooked food in the little kitchen and made trails up to the surface for the smoke to escape. They also made little oxygen holes and made them look like ant hills on the surface. The tunnels are very small. I was very proud of myself for going down in them! It was not a happy place to visit because they show a film on this one guy that was known as the best "rat" killer...aka Americans that found their underground hide out. The kids enjoyed seeing the big holes in the ground from the B 52 bombs!
