Also on display are various mantras and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers. It is estimated that Cu Chi tunnels suffered about 500,000 tons of bombs. Each square meter of land contains 3 to 6 kg of bombs.

Life in the tunnels presented numerous challenges. The tunnels themselves were narrow, measuring only 0.5 to 1 meters in width, forcing individuals to maneuver by bending or dragging themselves. Essential resources such as air, food, water and other supplies were scarce within the tunnel network. Moreover, the tunnels were plagued by a variety of dangerous creatures including ants, poisonous centipedes, snakes, mosquitoes, spiders and other menacing animals. Illnesses were rampant in this confined underground environment, with diseases like malaria and intestinal parasites spreading rapidly. Additionally, the tunnels were enveloped in darkness, necessitating soldiers to memorize every path and turn to avoid falling prey to their own booby traps. However, as the tunnels expanded, certain improvements were implemented, including the establishment of arms stores, hospitals, bomb shelters, kitchens and even theaters.

At the end, crawl underground (optional) and have a better understanding of what life was like for those who lived there. Tapioca will be served as a snack after crawling .
