Hanoi
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
The mausoleum, built from 1973 to 1975 in a style similar to that
of the Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow, is located at Ba Dinh
Square, where Ho Chi Minh publicly declared Vietnam's independence
on September 2, 1945. Right after his death on September 3, 1969,
Ho Chi Minh's body was embalmed by a team of Soviet experts. Visitors
to the mausoleum are expected to behave devoutly.
