Les tunnels de Cu Chi

Situés dans la commune de Phu My Hung, district de Cu Chi, à 70 km du centre de Hô Chi Minh-Ville, les tunnels de Cu Chi s’étirent sur 250 km.



Il s'agit d'un réseau de galeries souterraines qui ne faisait au départ que 17 km. Construits sur trois niveaux, dont le troisième d’une profondeur de 8-10 m, les tunnels de Cu Chi  étaient utilisés par les combattants vietnamiens en tant que caches durant les combats, de voies de communication, d'approvisionnement, de réserves de nourriture, d'armurerie et de véritables quartiers où ils vivaient dans des conditions effroyables. Les premiers boyaux ont été creusés pendant la Résistance contre les Français (1948). Cu Chi, surnommé «berceau de la guerre des tunnels», s’est vu décerner le titre de «citadelle d’airain».
