VTV.vn - Quảng Trị province has been famous for its war relics after many revolutions in history, especially Vĩnh Linh and Vịnh Mốc tunnel. Recently, new tunnels have been discovered in Cửa Tùng town.

 These tunnels were recently revealed at Cửa Tùng town, Vĩnh Linh district, Quảng Trị province. The tunnels were dug in 1962 and completed 4 years later. They became a shelter for local militia who were on duty guarding the frontier along the Ben Hai river mouth.
