The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, located in the heart of Hanoi's Ba Dinh Square, stands as one of the most significant cultural and political landmarks of modern Vietnam. This solemn structure is far more than an architectural monument—it is a powerful symbol of the nation’s revolutionary spirit, the unwavering will of its people, and the enduring legacy of President Ho Chi Minh, the beloved leader and founding father of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

With profound historical and ideological value, the Mausoleum serves not only as the final resting place of President Ho Chi Minh but also as a spiritual space that reflects the aspirations, beliefs, and moral values of the Vietnamese people. It plays a vital role in the education of patriotism, ethics, and national identity—especially for younger generations—by honoring the modest life and great contributions of "Uncle Ho."

Ensuring the permanent preservation and absolute safety of President Ho Chi Minh’s embalmed body is a sacred and exceptional political task entrusted to the nation. Alongside this, the continued promotion of the Mausoleum’s cultural and symbolic meaning in the context of modern Vietnam remains a mission of both great honor and responsibility. Over the past four decades—since its official inauguration on August 29, 1975—the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Protection Command has carried out this sacred duty with steadfast dedication and excellence.

Through their tireless efforts, the Mausoleum has been preserved not only as a physical structure but as a living testament to national pride and unity. Today, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum continues to welcome millions of visitors each year, including citizens from every corner of the country and international friends from around the world.
