Thanks to systems of tunnel ways, fortifications, combat trenches, soldiers and people of Cu Chi fought very bravely creating glorious feat of arms. The American invaders first stepped into Cu Chi land, they faced so fierce resistances from tunnels from important and very difficult bases such as “Underground villages”, “Dangerous secret zone”, “not seeing any VCs but they can appear everywhere”… Cu Chi Tunnels become a historical war hero of Vietnamese People like a 20th century legend and famous land in the world.
