About
クイックファクト: Approaching the solemn granite building, visitors often fall quiet as precise guard ceremonies and the cool hush around a glass-covered sarcophagus create a deeply reverent atmosphere. Expect strict dress and behavior rules enforced by attendants, which turns each visit into a ceremonial, almost theatrical, experience rather than a casual tourist stop.
ハイライト: A glass sarcophagus contains a carefully preserved leader bathed in soft spotlight, and a faint, clinical scent lingers alongside incense so many visitors remark on a metallic taste at the back of the throat. Visitors file past in near-silence, shoes whispering on cool marble while stern uniformed sentries hold a rigid, choreographed bearing and photography is strictly forbidden.
Insider tips
- Dress conservatively, knees and shoulders covered, no hats or shorts, otherwise entry may be refused.
- Leave backpacks and large bags at your hotel or a locker, security checks are strict and large bags are not allowed.
- No photography inside, take photos from Ba Dinh Square for a full view of the building and plaza.
- Arrive early to see the formal guard detail and to combine the visit with the nearby museums when they open.
