Brave the crowds to catch a fleeting glimpse of Vietnam's founding father - Uncle Ho. Note however that the Mausoleum is only open in the first 9 months of the year and only in the mornings. Be prepared for a bit of walking and long queues as the Mausoleum itself is located within a rather large compound with vast gardens. There are usually lots of people visiting the Mausoleum to pay their respects, and of course because it's free. Security is also tight, and you will have to check in your bags, cell phones and cameras. Strange but there are two separate check in counters. A bag counter is located at the main entrance where you can deposit your haversack (the counter staff will then try to "sell" you a pamplet on the Mausoleum for 4,000 dong). There is a separate small counter to deposit your cell phones and cameras further into the complex. Don't know how they do it, but somehow or another, the staff there, manage to transport your camera and cell phones to a similar pick up counter once you come out from the Mausoleum. Note that once you come out of the Mausoleum, you end up at the other end of the complex, and you'll have to walk all the way back across in order to pick up your haversack deposited at the entrance. It was all in all a rather strange experience. Felt like we were like cattle being herded to a destination. The guards are also stern, making sure you keep in line and keep up with the pace of the person walking in front of you. Don't expect to be allowed to linger to see if the body is real!
