Summary

[edit]
Description
English: PLEASE, no multi invitations (none is better) in your comments. Thanks.

Presidential Palace in Hanoi is a three- storey structure located to the north of Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. The Palace stands as a memento of French contribution to the architectural splendor in Indochina. This mustard-yellow palace was built from 1900 to 1906 to function as the living and operational bases of the governors-general of Indo-China. The designs of this palace were conceived by Auguste Henri Vildieu, the French architect officially appointed for Vietnam.

When Ho Chi Minh returned to independent Vietnam after defeating the French in 1954, he refused to live in the grand structure for symbolic reasons, although he still received state guests there. The tradition continues even now as the palace offers site for official receptions to guests and for other administrative meetings.

He rather began staying in a mere cottage within the premises of the palace from 1954 to 1958. After that he built a Vietnamese house made on stilts.
