Visiting Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum

A key highlight of the trip was the visit to Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, where his body is preserved using advanced technology similar to that used for Lenin in Russia. The experience was both solemn and moving, as visitors are expected to pay their respects in a quiet manner. The line to enter was long, filled with families, elderly citizens, and school groups, showcasing the significant national reverence for Ho Chi Minh. His lifelong dedication to the Vietnamese people and their liberation was palpable in the atmosphere, and his residence, the 'House on Stilts,' further emphasized his connection to the populace.
