Latest Ho Chi Minh City hotel reviews
The Reunification Palace used to be presidential palace of the South Vietnamese government. The famous picture of a North Vietnamese tank smashing through it's gates signaled the reunification of Vietnam under Communist rule and the end of one of the bloodiest conflicts in history. Today visitors can visit the palace and see an exhibit on the Vietnam War including a replica of that tank.

Also known as Independence Palace (this is the old name). This is a restored five-floor time warp to the Sixties left largely untouched from the day before Saigon fell to the North (construction started in 1962 and finished in 1966).
Open daily 7:30AM-11:00AM, 1PM-4PM.

These two tanks in the palace grounds were used to break through the gates of the palace by the North Vietnamese Army on April 30th 1975 which then lead to the fall of the South and the end of the Vietnamese War. Tank 843 is a Russian made T54 tank while tank 390 is a Chinese made T59 tank.
Open: 7.30-11am & 1-4pm. Admission: 15,000 VND.

The eerie basement, full of vintage 1960s phones, radios, and office equipment, is supposedly left exactly as it was found when the North took over. There is also a photo gallery and a propaganda film recounting how the South Vietnamese supporters and American imperialists succumbed to Ho Chi Minh's indomitable revolutionary forces, upon which point the South Vietnamese supporters were forgiven and everyone lived happily ever after.
Open: 7.30-11am & 1-4pm. Admission: 15,000 VND.

These are just some photos of the wonderful 60's furniture that don't feel out of place on the set of a 60's James Bond movie or even an Austin Powers film!
