Hal yang dilakukan

Before go inside, I buy entrance fee VND 70.000, this price is include tour guide. From the ticket box to the entrance gate still need to walk to the forest around 15 minutes. Arriving at entrance to the tunnel, follow the direction and I'm arrived at meeting point. In this meeting point, I'm waiting for the others members. After that, I go to audio visual building for watching documentary movie about this tunnel. The guide show me where is the entrance of this tunnes and it's invisible, guys! I really can't see the entrance. When the guide pull the door, there is small hole which become the entrance and everyone go inside one by one.

This entrance size around 30 cm x 30 cm and has length around 200 km. I explored it by crawl on hands and knees very slowly. This tunnel was used for Vietcong (Vietnamese Soldier) to hide from American soldier in 1957 - 1975. Inside this tunnel, they can do normal activity such as cooking, sewing, meeting, sleeping  and also there is hospital.

Also, they put trap for American soldier so they could fall and strike hard to pointed bamboo. Until this time, smoe trap still active and Vietnamese Soldier try to domesticate the trap.

This tunnel was created only by using mattock, so I could imagine how hard their life at the past time in this place. Life in small hole, minimum oxygen and of course dark.
