Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
Lăng chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh
About this place
President Ho Chi Minh is a Vietnamese leader who made sacrifices for the country's freedom.
In fact, he desired that his body be cremated and his ashes be scattered throughout three regions of Vietnam: the North, the South, and the Central. However, the government decided to embalm President Ho's body and construct this mausoleum as his final resting place so that international tourists and Vietnamese residents from all over Vietnam could pay their respects. The construction of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi began on September 2nd, 1973, at the center of Ba Dinh Square, where President Ho used to read the Declaration of Independence on September 2nd, 1945.
When you arrive at the mausoleum, you will walk through a scanner entrance to ensure that no prohibited objects (including water and other liquids) are brought inside; this is where you will be given a tote handbag to store your recording devices and iPads or smart tablets. Give your bag to the security guards near the entrance and you'll be given a plastic keychain with a number on it. Don't lose the keychain because you'll need it to retrieve your belongings at the end of your visit to the mausoleum. Phones are permitted, but please be courteous, turn them off, and avoid taking pictures in inappropriate locations.
Visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi is a golden opportunity to learn about the struggles and uprisings of Vietnamese people during the war-torn years, as well as how the country's leader at the time - President Ho - led the country through the country's sorrow years.
