They only have a number of places that they allow in to "vaccum sealed" chamber of the beloved leader of the Communist Party. So get there early (they open at 9am) and get yourself in line for the most exciting display of a dead person you've ever seen. But forget about taking photos to remember this momentous occasion for you'll be quick shot down buy the 4 stern men in uniform.
Personally, I think this ride is not worth the wait, but it is a part of history. Beside, when else can you see greatness. Leave a Comment Directions: Ba Dinh District

We can not bring anything except wallet (money) to mausoleum. There are 2 deposits counter to put our things.
First at the entrance gate where we have to put our bag but we still allowed to bring camera, cell phone and money. Then we stand in line, make a group.
The second deposit is before we enter the mausoleum, not allowed to bring camera and cell phone. Leave a Comment Directions: Ba Dinh District

 Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum,
Hanoi. by worldkiwi
In the vicinity of the mausoleum there are other enormous buildings worth looking at. The Ho Chi Minh Musuem was one I was tempted to go into, but there were crowds the day I went and I decided not to. Leave a Comment Directions: Ba Dinh District

 Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum by bumpychick
Tourists are asked to hand their bags and cameras (give them to your guide if you have one) and go through a scanner. You then bypass a huge queue of Vietnamese people (who have to wait for hours) and line up by the doors to the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh. Visitors are expected to file through in silence, and there are quite a few guards who reinforce this rule. if you're unlucky they will take a disliking to you and search you again. Someone in our group got stopped twice.
Walk up the stairs and follow the one way route around the darkened room where Ho Chi Minh lays. It is a very surreal experience, made more so by the silence.
Apparently the body gets sent off to Russia every October for a 'freshen up'. Leave a Comment Directions: Ba Dinh District

 Uncle Ho Is Sleeping With 4
Guards by yeikloen
Build in contrary to his desire of a cremation, he is not being placed inside a huge cement building in the centre of Hanoi city. This complex was completed in 1975. If you go around noon you might be able to witness the change of guards.
Note on opening hour 8am till 11am (last entry at 10.45am) on Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat and Sun only. MONDAY IS CLOSE
NOTE : on my last visit in Dec 2006, you are required to leave your bag in a luggage rooms with no charges but the ladies there will try to sell you some information brochure for some crazy price, refuse and tell them you are not interested in buying it.
