Day 04: 04 December 2007 - Beijing

Went to the Underground City. Mainly tunnels ordered to be built by Mao Zedong in face of an impending war with Russia. Construction first started in 1969 and took ten years to complete.

Similar to usage like the Cuchi Tunnel in Ho Chi Minh City, but the tunnel here is wider and more spacious.

The tunnels have channels leading to Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, Forbbiden City, Great Wall and as far as Tianjin. However, the openings have been sealed and the tunnel will soon be closed by the end of this month.

Known also as Underground Great Wall (地下长城 or 迷宫) because the total length of the tunnel is even longer than that of the Great Wall.
