During the mid­1960s,Vinh Linh,Quang Tri in Vietnam was a wasteland,which was often under attack from the US air force.Vietnamese soldiers who were fighting against the US discussed how to make people there safe.Some suggested moving the people underground.Then they began to build a tunnel (隧道).

The Vinh Moc tunnel was built for the people of Son Trung and Son Ha in Vinh Linh county of Quang Tri Province.It was built in several stages,beginning in 1966 and was in use until 1971.It grew to include wells,kitchens,rooms for each family and hospitals.Around 60 families lived in the tunnel.

Deep under the ground,hidden from soldiers,people lived in the tunnel for many years.They survived.The tunnel was a success and no villagers lost their lives thanks to it.

During that time,17 children were born in the tunnel,each of whose lives was a proof that the tunnel was effective in protecting the villagers.As time goes by,it has become both a historical site and a tourist attraction for people wishing to learn about a heroic period in Vietnam’s history.
