To confirm

The network ran about two hundred and fifty kilometres over three levels, with kitchens, field hospitals, workshops and camouflaged air shafts. It let the Viet Cong hold ground thirty kilometres from Saigon for the whole war.

The visit shows the traps, the Hoang Cam stove that dispersed smoke at a distance, and a stretch of tunnel widened for visitors — widened, and still very tight. There are two sites: Ben Duoc is the quieter, Ben Dinh the closer.

Getting there

Seventy kilometres north-west of Saigon, about two hours each way by road. The river boat costs more and takes longer, but avoids the traffic.

What the price covers

paid entry. The published rates contradict one another — from 85,000 to 135,000 ₫ for a foreign visitor across 2026 reports — and the memorial's official site is unreachable. To be checked at the gate.

What to bring

Rules on site

The tunnels are low, dark and have no side exits: claustrophobia comes on fast and you cannot turn back. A paid firing range operates on site, and the noise carries across the whole place.
