Chu Chi Visitors' Tunnel (Jan 2007)

Entrance fee is 75000 dong, about USD 4.6.

Joined a short half-day trip which cost USD 11. Our travel guide was come from a South Vietnam Soldier's family, but he tried not to side any parties for the history story telling - Viet-Kong and South Vietnam Soldier. On the way to Chu Chi, we stopped by a painting factory (egg shell or shell drawing). According to the guide, those people are the descendant of "Orange" victims. A medium size painting sold for USD30-40 (we found the same painting in An Dong market for USD 1.8).

At Chu Chi, I tried the visitor's tunnel, it is about 15m long. Pregnant woman, please don't try. Also, if you daring enough, try it on your own. I followed a group of visitors, crawling in the darkness. There are some guide dim light served as guide a long the way. But you still won't know whether the tunnel is heading down and up, until you knock your head or slipped down.

Really an unforgettable experience, must try.
