Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

Rating:  |
Ho Chi Minh is the father of the republic of Hanoi and the former prime minister and president of the democratic republic of Vietnam.
The Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was built in his honour. The tomb complex encompasses a palace museum, a traffic free zone and some parks.
The centre of the structure has a large tomb where the body of the great leader rests in a bier inside a glass case.
No photographs are allowed within the mausoleum and visitors have to leave their personal belongings outside.
The grand mausoleum overlooks the pond and, through the windows, visitors get a glimpse of the rooms where furnishings and belongings of the late leader still exist.
Near the tomb is the Presidential Palace and a short walk from this is the tomb of the unknown soldier which looks stunning when lit up at night.
Here you can also find the Hanoi Citadel which was occupied by the army in the past.
