Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex is one of Hanoi’s most significant landmarks, honoring Vietnam’s revolutionary leader, Ho Chi Minh. Located in Ba Dinh Square, where he declared Vietnam’s independence in 1945, the complex is a serene and solemn site. The centerpiece is the Mausoleum, where Ho Chi Minh’s embalmed body is preserved in a glass case. Surrounding the mausoleum are other key attractions, including the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House, and the One Pillar Pagoda. This iconic site is a must-visit for those interested in Vietnam’s history and culture.
