Attractions
Long Phuoc Tunnels
Long Phuoc Tunnels is located near Road 52, Long Phuoc, Ba Ria – Vung Tau. The place is approximately 80 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, and only 5 kilometers from Long Tan Cross. These tunnels were used by the Viet Cong for shelter, storage, and communication during the war with the French, and Vietnam War. During its existence, the Long Phuoc Tunnel has been expanded to 3600 meters in total. Although less well-known than the Cu Chi or Vinh Moc tunnels, the Long Phuoc tunnels still offer a highly historical sightseeing experience.
