Cu Chi Tunnels – A historical setting in Ho Chi Minh City The Cu Chi Tunnels is a special national historical site, designated by the Prime Minister in 2015. The relic complex includes Ben Dinh and Ben Duoc, associated with the history of the resistance against French colonialists and the American war. The value of this location lies in its multi-level tunnel system, trenches, fortifications, secret tunnel entrances, and functional underground spaces. The tunnels are winding with many narrow sections, connecting to surface areas, creating a transition between underground interiors and exteriors. This space is suitable for close-ups, low-angle shots, tracking shots along the tunnel axis, and movement sequences in confined spaces, subject to conservation conditions. The Cu Chi Tunnels are suitable for historical films, war films, documentaries, and works recreating 20th-century Vietnam.
