My hometown: Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh city



Today, I would like to introduce my home town of Cu Chi.  Cu Chi is a suburb of Ho Chi Minh City and it is famous for the Cu Chi tunnel system. This tunnel system is some of the largest tunnels in Vietnam, which is an immense network of connected underground pathways. It was built by soldiers and locals during the Vietnam War to hide combats and to communicate and transit supplies from one place to another.  Some tunnels include functional hospitals, food and weapons storage. Back in the old days it played a very important role in ensuring victory of the Vietnam War.  Nowadays, the historic value of this place is it is an attractive tourism destination from Ho Chi Minh City for both domestic and international tourists. If you have a chance to visit Ho Chi Minh, please stop by my hometown for an unforgettable experience.
