Vinh Moc Tunnels
Địa đạo Vịnh Mốc
A three-level underground village dug by villagers during the Vietnam War, reaching a depth of 23 metres. It is the core stop on Hue's DMZ day trips.
Vinh Moc Tunnels lie on the coast near the 17th parallel in Quang Tri Province. Between 1966 and 1967, villagers dug a network of tunnels about 2 km long across three levels to escape the bombing. The tunnels contained homes, a maternity room and wells, and about 60 families lived there for years. Visitors can walk the main passages with a guide, and the exit leads directly to the beach. A small museum stands nearby. Admission is about 50,000 VND (check current prices). The site lies about 100 km from Hue and is usually visited on a DMZ day trip together with Hien Luong Bridge.
