that they allowed the Viet Cong to control a large rural area only 30 to 40
km from Ho Chi Minh City. At its height, the tunnel system stretched from Ho
Chi Minh City to the Cambodian border. The network, parts of which were
several levels deep, included innumerable trap doors, specifically
constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field
hospitals, command centres and kitchens. Today the remaining tunnels have
become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and
feel of what underground life during the war must have been like. The
tunnels have been widened for our benefit (otherwise we would not be able to

rounds from an AK47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range.

has a wealth of images from the wars, the most moving being a
gallery entitled 'Requiem' which is dedicated to Vietnamese and foreign
journalists and photographers who perished during the French and American
conflicts. The Reunification Palace was the former
residence of the President of South Vietnam until April 30, 1975 when the
