Hue city ,Vinmok tunnel and night time at Hom River

We are in Hue city ,it's middle of Vietnam which was to be the capital of Nguyen dynasty since 19th century.
This city was the heart of the fierce fighting between South and North Vietnamese,however it's still in south
land. During Vietnam War,this land Hue suffered considerable damage not only to its physical features ,but
it's reputation as well,most of it from American firepower and bombings on the historical buildings.

Then we reach Vinmok Tunnel which far away from the Hue city around 65 kilometers ,this tunnel is around
2,000 meters long ,deeply 3 floors ,have 3 exit ways ,capacities for 300 people in this village for escaped

from bombed for 5 years during 1966-1971 ,there were 17 children born in this tunnel.

It's wondering tunnel, each floor they built many rooms left and right side ,like kitchens,leaving rooms,meeting
rooms(mostly on second floor) also nurse rooms( on first floor) but for deepest 3rd floor it is difficult to walk
down.They bored big holes for circulate air around so why even deeply place can have smooth breeth

Nowsday,they set somes electric for us to see in each room but it will be good if you carry a flashlight for
seeing.

Somes of 17 children still stay here and have position for take care this place as well, when we first see
one guy ,he comes to say hi and shake hand with us .He is a mid-aged man with thin and short body but
his eyes are filled with more meaning, strong ,brave,painful,as same as his rough hand when we shake his hand, so hard and painful deeply.

At this place still have a museum hall for remember to Vietnam War between Vietnam and America.
