Lăng Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum stands in central Hà Nội, Vietnam, at the heart of Ba Đình Square. Ho Chi Minh rests inside beneath a military honour guard. Built between 1973 and 1975, the square structure draws on Lenin’s Moscow mausoleum and Vietnamese design. Its sloping roof gives the granite façade a distinctly local profile.
Grey, black, and red polished stone shape the interior, while pink-veined marble marks the entrance. Gold lettering carries the words “Nothing is more precious than Independence and Freedom.” His embalmed body lies in a glass case in the cooler central hall, alongside ruby-stone national and party flags. Ba Đình Square extends before it with parade routes and carefully divided lawns. The surrounding gardens bring together nearly 250 plant and flower species from across Vietnam. The wider complex also includes the Ho Chi Minh Museum and his wooden stilt house.
