The Cu Chi Tunnels lie 75 km northwest of Ho Chi Min City. At the time of the Vietnam war, the tunnel system stretched from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian border:  something like 250 kilometers of tunnels. The tunnel system, built over 25 years starting in the 1940s, let the Viet Minh and, later, the Viet Cong, control a huge rural area.  It was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers.  In places, it was several stories deep and housed up to 10,000 people who virtually lived underground for years getting married, giving birth, going to school. They only came out at night to furtively tend their crops..

  • Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City: Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the name change reflects a desire not to offend wealthy tourists. Despite the rhetoric, this museum has become one of the most popular attractions with Western visitors of all political persuasions. It is a stark reminder that wars rarely have winners and are never glorious. Along with the many photographs, the museum displays US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons. There is even a guillotine used by the French on pesky Viet Minh 'troublemakers'.

  • Vietnam,  Vietnam, Dien Bien Phu : Vietnamese veteran at the War Meseun in Dien Bien Phu, the climactic battle between French and Vietnamese Communist forces (called the Vietminh) after World War Two, took place at the town of Dien Biên in northwestern Vietnam. The defeat of over twenty-thousand French troops on 7 May 1954 after a fifty-five day siege of the camp led directly to the division of Vietnam into two countries. French forces at Dien Bien Phu found themselves surrounded and cut off. After nearly a two-month siege, the Viet Minh overran Dien Bien Phu, prompting the end of French Indochina. Today, Dien Bien Phu is a major city and is scheduled to replace Lai Chau as the provincial capital. Ironically, the development is threatening to overrun the battlefield.
