Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum
The number one sight of Hanoi would have to be checking in on Uncle Ho. Ho Chi Minh's body is kept in state in a huge mausoleum at Ba Dinh Square, on Hung Vuong Street past the end of Dien Bien Phu Street. At the entrance to the mausoleum is Ho Chi Minh’s quote: " Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom".There are a number of rules and regulations in regard to seeing Uncle Ho. You will not be admitted wearing shorts, no cameras or bags are allowed, you cannot put your hands into your pockets and you must retain a respectful air about you. Visitors are marched through in pairs in a militaristic fashion past Ho Chi Minh's body that is held in a glass case, then whisked out of the mausoleum before you can say boo. After the mausoleum the tour continues to Ho Chi Minh’s house that has a large collection of interesting relics from his past.
Ho Chi Minh Museum
This museum beside Uncle Ho's Mausoleum contains an all encompassing look at Vietnam with displays on both its past and future. Each display holds a message of communist theology, but much of the writing is in Vietnamese. The ground floor has a collection of displays on everything from Vietnamese technical innovations to crop productivity charts. The first floor traces the life of Ho Chi Minh through a fascinating sequence of newspaper lippings and photograghs. Some may find some of the sculpture representing Uncle Ho’s life a bit way out, but it does serve to create an invigorating atmosphere.
