Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Monument in Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi, Vietnam
The granite mausoleum rises 21.6 meters high and 41.2 meters wide, featuring a central hall that preserves Ho Chi Minh's embalmed body in a glass case.
The structure, completed in 1975, stands at the exact location where Ho Chi Minh delivered the Declaration of Independence for Vietnam on September 2, 1945.
The surrounding gardens contain 250 plant species from different Vietnamese regions, representing the natural diversity of the entire country within the complex.
Visitors can access the mausoleum from Tuesday to Thursday between 7:30 AM and 10:30 AM, and on weekends from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM without entrance fees.
The preservation process of Ho Chi Minh's body requires annual maintenance in Russia, during which the mausoleum closes for several weeks.
