This place is famous for the complex tunnel system which was hand-dug by volunteers with hoes and baskets. This tunnel was constructed during the war against French and the construction continued when Americans arrived. This tunnel is about 250km long and it stretches to Cambodia border in the east and goes into Ho Chi Minh City in the south.

ANd it looks really painful if one falls on it. Sometimes, if not all the time, I felt that war is a sad sad thing. No doubt, the army can display their military prowess. But on who? it's not only the enemy soldiers. It's the CIVILIANS who suffered from most of it.
It's not only the physical impact but psychological and social impact as well. War is not as simple as you win, I lose. It is not that simple, really.

The tunnel is really cramped and low. My leg got so cramped when walking halfway. If the journey were longer, I would have juz suffocate inside with the near zero ventilation.
Because vietnamese are smaller size so it's easier for them to travel from point A to point B.
