Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The Hồ Chí Minh Mausoleum (Vietnamese: Lăng Hồ Chí Minh) is a large memorial to the Vietnamese leader. It is located in Ba Ðình Square in Hà Nội. Ho Chi Minh's body is preserved here and the mausoleum is open for people to come and pay their respects. The mausoleum's design is similar to the Lenin's mausoleum in Moscow. Today rows of visitors could be seen visiting the place everyday. In his will, he stated his wish to be cremated and to have his ashes buried in the hills of the north, centre, and south of Việt Nam. He said that he liked cremation because it was "more hygienic than burial and could also save land for agricultural purpose". By building this mausoleum, the successor Communist government unintentionally violated this wish. [Wikipedia.org] |
