Place to see: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hanoi, Vietnam

Mausoleum Guards

Mausoleum Guards

Guards stoically watching the main entrance to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Don't wait around for these gentlemen to do anything interesting - although a brief spectacle ensues every time the guard is changed.

About this place:

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the revered final resting place of Uncle Ho. Supposedly shaped like a lotus, the building is decidedly more blocky than it is flowery - and it sits on the edge of large, desolate Ba Dinh Square. You can venture inside to have a look at Ho Chi Minh himself, but strict rules apply, and the opening hours are limited.
