Ho Chi Minh City - Reunification Palace (alsoWent into the Reunification Palace to do a tour visit and you would be able to see a lot of history about the reunification of Vietnam. It was a big palace that consist of a few levels (I forget how many levels there are) but you can take a lot of nice photos in the palace. (Good for your next Tinder profile pic) You will be able to view the President’s office, conference hall, the minister’s cabinet room, and the Banquet hall (of course there’s more room but I can’t recall the names, go see yourself). Someone asked me if they are able to sit on the chair but sadly you can’t as they are items that need to be protected. Try sitting on the chair and you might end up in the police station 👮🏻♂️🚔 Thanks for reading 😊 #hcm #vietnam #palace #history #niceplace #wow #passionpassport #travello1111046

Independence PalaceThe Independence Palace symbolizes Vietnam's victory, peace, and territorial integrity. This place has a glamorous design, hundreds of rooms equipped with luxurious furnishings and decorations, and an enormous and gorgeous exterior space. It is the perfect place for visitors to get away from the heat in Southern Vietnam, enjoy the fresh cool air, and explore one of the most remarkable structures in Ho Chi Minh City. The Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, was built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. It represents the traditional philosophy, the oriental rituals, and the characteristics of the Vietnamese people in a harmonious combination with modern structures. The palace was built on a 12-hectare plot of land and includes a large mansion of 80-meter width. The palace is well-known not only for its historical significance but also for its unique architecture. It is a harmonious blend of modern Western and classical Eastern styles. #travel #adventureArpie22

Independence Palace - Ho Chi Minh, VietnamIn 1975, a North Vietnamese tank crashed into the main gate of the Independence Palace effectively ending the Vietnam War. Today, the Independence Palace, also called the Reunification Palace, is one of the main historical attractions of Ho Chi Minh City. Time seems to have “frozen” here - two tanks that participated in the storming of the palace are still standing on the territory, and an exact copy of a military helicopter is installed on the roof of the building. Inside this five-story palace, interiors in the style of the late 1960s and 1970s have been preserved. In the basement of the building there is a bunker with a labyrinth of tunnels and a telecommunications center. Address: Independence Palace, Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa, Bến Thành, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. #bucketlistreboot #vietnamAurora36

Visited and paid general admission and the new exhibition on the history of Saigon. Really interesting displays and audio visual - multi lingual displays and really good photographs. #independencepalace needs more info panels but despite that it’s really interesting to walk around - you get a real sense of the history - definitely worth a visit , nice gardens and almost traffic free - great views from balcony. #happynewyearShannennash25
The building was originally built in 1868 and was once the office of the French Governor in Vietnam. Now the palace is kind of muesum, with audio content, booklet and the actual physical exhibits.sylviemus_45
In Vietnam, the Reunification Palace can be said to be a very famous attraction. Anyone who has been to Vietnam does not have to visit there. On the second day we arrived in Vietnam, we came to the prestigious Reunification Palace. Reunification Palace, formerly known as "Norodon Palace" was originally the French government in southern Vietnam. In 1954, the French evacuated and handed over the "Norodon Palace" to the then Vietnamese government. In order to show Vietnam's independence from French colonial rule, the Vietnamese government renamed it "Independence Palace." Later, with the national reunification of Vietnam's North and South, the "Independence Palace" was renamed the "Reunification Palace" as a symbol of the Vietnamese people's struggle for national independence and national unity.Cynthia wei.20
Here is the Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace. The place to commemorate the unity the reunification palace in the center of Ho Chi Minh was originally built by the French colonists. However, after the liberation of Vietnam, in order to commemorate the independence of the Independence Palace, it was to commemorate the reunification of the North and South. Renamed the Reunification Palace. Originally thought this was a particularly serious attraction. In fact, it has indeed witnessed many historical moments, as well as facilities such as roof aprons and air-raid shelters for specific purposes. But romantic Vietnam can always find a suitable angle for self-portraits, huge glass windows, classic cars on the ground floor, you can take a beautiful photo.Liu Big Fish.10

Reunification Palace Ho Chi Minh ,Vietnam🇻🇳#vietnamtrip 🏛️ Another must-see spot in Ho Chi Minh City is the Reunification or Independence Palace. 🇻🇳 It's a historical gem that educates tourists about the Vietnam War. 🕰️ The palace is huge and centrally located in the city. 💸 There's an entrance fee, but considering the many places to explore, it's worth it. 🌟 We visited on a Sunday, so brace yourself for the crowds if you come on a weekend. 🙋♂️ What surprised me was the number of locals also visiting the palace. 🏢 The building has a modern style, and the façade and lawn with the water feature in front give off an authoritative vibe. 🎧 There are counters where you can get audio-guided tours. 📸 The rooms are all open for photos, but they're barricaded, so you can only take pictures from outside. 🚶♂️ There's a lot to explore from the basement to the top, so be ready to climb stairs as the lifts are small and not easy to find. 📷 There are plenty of photo opportunities. 🌆 I particularly enjoyed the rooftop with its scenic viewpoints. 🛍️ There's also a souvenir shop at the top where you can buy refreshments for a break. 🥤Hazi K
Ho Chi Minh City | The Reunification Palace - A Symbol of Vietnam's Independence and Unity🔝 The Reunification Palace was once the office of the French Governor in Vietnam (the headquarters of the French military in Indochina), and later became the presidential residence of the former South Vietnamese government, where heads of state were received and meetings were held. The four-story white symmetrical building was renamed 'Reunification Palace' to highlight the symbol of Vietnam's struggle for independence. There are over 100 large and small reception halls, and the reception hall on the first floor is quite magnificent. The windows look great from the inside out, but you can't see inside from the outside. Although the building is relatively large, there are not many exhibits inside, so it takes just over half an hour to visit. I revisited the place and took photos at the same spot, haha. The outside courtyard is very large and the environment is serene, with most areas not open to tourists. Less than 300 meters across the central axis to the right 👉 is the Notre Dame Cathedral ⛪️ and the Central Post Office. Behind it is a large public park. 💚 Travel Information 💚 Tickets🎟 65k, Chinese-speaking guide service is available.Violet Carter
