It was very cold inside the mausoleum, must be one of the best air conditioned places in Vietnam.

It's a spiritual experience, watching a dead famous man's body preserved. The body is older than me ! 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.

Located west of the Old quarter, this place is a spotllight for all the vietnameses and a place of peregrination. Inside the mausoleum one can see the Ho Chi Minh mummy. In the area it´s possible to see also the Nha San Bac Ho house, where the leader used to live, and the beautiful Presidential Palace, built in 1906, and formerly the Palace of the general gobernor of Indochina.

Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum,
Hanoi.

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a suitable austere monument to modern Vietnam's most important founding figure. I didn't go in, as I had no need to view a corpse. However, I was very pleased to, completely by good fortune, catch the changing of the guard at 11am. I watched the whole thing, which is very overated in the Lonely Planet, but still worth seeing. 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.

Ho Chi Minh Masoleum

The Ho Chih Minh Masoleum is located on Ba Dinh Square, where Ho Chi Minh delivered Vietnam's declaration of independence in 1945. Ho Chi Minh died in 1969 and his embalmed corpse lies in a glass casket. Every year in autumn, it is rumoured that Uncle Ho returns to Russia for a re-embalming job. If you are visiting in September or October, it is advisable to check if Uncle Ho is in residence.

The Mausoleum of President Ho Chi Minh is a must place to visit in Hanoi. The late uncle Ho is buried in this mausoleum and the whole area is broken down into a few parts in which you will need almost 1 - 2 hours to complete. Every single day, great crowds of tourist and locals alike, pay tribute to him. The Mausoleum is open to the public in the morning on: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday 1st April to 31st October - 7.30 am till 10.30 am 1st November to 31 March - 8.00 am till 11.00 am Opening hours are extended by 30 minutes on national holidays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum

This has to be in the top ten of my most unusual holiday experiences. 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'.

This is definately a must place to visit if you are in Hanoi. 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.
