Just outside of HCMC, one can visit an area occupied by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. The Cu Chi Tunnels were a system of underground living spaces and of course tunnels used by the Viet Cong. This is a popular tourist spot where you can enter the actual tunnels used during the war, if you are brave enough. Also at the sight are displays of "traps" the Viet Cong used against the American "invaders" as well as demonstrations of how unexploded bombs were used to create land mines. There are many unexploded bombs (now safe) on display as well as downed helicopters and a destroyed tank.
On the military theme, there was also a shooting range on site in case you had the urge to shoot an AK-47 or an M-60 machine gun. Very cool!!
