A network of more than 200 km of tunnels used by Viet Cong guerrillas during the Vietnam War, with hidden entrances, kitchens and booby traps. Crawl through a stretch widened for tourists.


Bến Dược is less touristy than Bến Đình. It's about 1.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City; tours and boats on the Saigon River go there.
