Underground cellars and cities - here's one of my favourites

Underground cities - I first read about them in the childhood story book, The Princess and Curie.How many countries have underground cities? How many don't? What do you need?
1 Rock which can be cut.
2 A way to shore it up.
3 Access to air and food.
4 Something or someone to hide.
5 A preference for the temperature below.

Here are some examples:
Tunnels - Channel Tunnel linking England and France.
Tunnels for wine and Champagne caves near Rheims, now an attraction for tourists.
Vietcong tunnels now a tourist attraction in Vietnam.
