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.
