Fascinating to see how Ho Chi Minh has been preserved. This was packed out as well and you must keep quiet and not fold your arms. more

The walk around the mausoleum etc was very interesting. We may have been lucky, but there wasn't a long wait at all, and despite the heat of the day, it was quite pleasant walking around the area. We had been told by several Vietnamese people in Hanoi that we would have to ensure we were wearing long sleeves and trousers,... more

Although it was interesting to see Ho Chi Minh's embalmed body on display in a glass coffin, we weren't particularly moved by the experience. We waited in a "line" for about 45 minutes for just about a minute's worth of time walking around the coffin in the mausoleum.

We visited this place our first day in Hanoi. The officials running the place are very efficient and the line moved rapidly. Some people were corrected for talking while others were asked to remove their hats or take their hands out of their pockets. I couldn't help but think how frail the man looked but then I thought that he... more

None of the reviews i read so far (either on this or other sites) mentioned the opening hours so i thought it would be good to point this out. I was told by the hotel this place opens only on Friday - Sundays, from... more

It is the #1 must-do thing in Hanoi. It is free. The other reviews/guides give you the gist -- you line up in 2 lines, usually with about 2000 schoolkids and other curious tourists. You walk steady from the back of the line through the room where they have Ho. No pictures or they might shoot you. You get about... more

Uncle Ho is a revered figure in Vietnam and his mausoleum is over the top. They line you up two at a time and in total silence you are allowed to walk by and view him lying in state. While it may seem goolish, it is a fascinating experience and take a moment to look at the faces of the... more
