Long Phuoc tunnel relic is about 7 km from Ba Ria city center. This is a creative work, a heroic testimony of our army and people during the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Formed right in the area temporarily occupied by the enemy, Long Phuoc Tunnels originated from people digging tunnels to avoid enemy bombs and terrorist attacks. The movement of all people to dig secret tunnels was then launched by Long Phuoc commune officials. In early 1946, Long Phuoc had more than 300m of tunnels 3 - 5m deep underground. From the tunnel system, the guerrillas and people of Long Phuoc continuously broke up many raids, including a major raid in October 1949, ensuring the safety of the Xuyen Phuoc Co base area, the resistance base of the province, and is also the focal point of communication between the central government and the Southeast. During the anti-American period, Long Phuoc tunnels expanded to most hamlets in the commune. The soldiers and people of Long Phuoc used the tunnels as a springboard to attack the enemy. The US imperialists had to use planes to spread bombs, artillery shells to plow, tanks, bulldozers and thousands of infantry to attack the tunnels. After that, the tunnel system was expanded deeper and longer. The tunnels have secret vaults to store food and weapons; There is a place to treat wounded soldiers; There are continuous fighting fortifications in all 5 hamlets of Long Phuoc commune. The tunnel under the tunnel spreads in the shape of a spine 2-3m above the ground, the tunnel is more than 1.5m high and more than 0.7m wide, people inside can walk and move easily. After liberation, Long Phuoc Tunnels were restored and renovated to become a tourist attraction, a place for the young generation to learn about the fighting traditions of their ancestors on the land of Long Phuoc. The Long Phuoc Tunnels revolutionary historical relic was ranked as a national relic in 1990. This relic is the pride and epic of the people of Long Phuoc and the entire Ba Ria city. Therefore, the investment and embellishment project of Long Phuoc Tunnels was approved in 2017. Accordingly, above the ground, a 3-storey traditional house will be built in the style of a pagoda, a tiled roof, walls covered with unburnt bricks and decorative tiles.
