Presidential Palace Historical Site, Presidential palace and museum complex in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The Presidential Palace spreads across 14 hectares with 16 architectural structures, including French colonial buildings and traditional Vietnamese houses.
Built as the French Governor-General residence of Indochina, the site became Ho Chi Minh's residence and workplace from 1954 until 1969.
The site presents Ho Chi Minh's modest stilt house, where he chose to live instead of the grand palace, reflecting Vietnamese values of simplicity.
The Presidential Palace complex opens daily except Mondays, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the buildings and gardens.
House 67 within the complex contains the underground military command bunker where strategic decisions during the Vietnam War occurred.
