The tunnel system, nearly 2 km long with 3 levels, extends 12 to 23 meters deep into the ground, capable of withstanding American demolition and armor-piercing bombs. The tunnel system was arranged like a miniature village, complete with family housing, a meeting hall, water wells, a maternity ward, and more. During the fierce war, 17 babies were safely born underground.
