Overview
The Vinh Moc Tunnels are a network of underground tunnels located in the former Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) of Vietnam. They were built by the local villagers to escape the intense bombing during the Vietnam War.
The tunnels served as a safe haven for the villagers and are a testament to their resilience and ingenuity during the war.
