Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House
Sight4.5 · 1 7104 · 3 602≈ 45 minEntry: ~40000 VND2.4 km from the center
Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House is set within the gardens of Hanoi's Presidential Palace, where Vietnam's leader lived and worked from 1958 until his death in 1969. Refusing to occupy the opulent French colonial palace, he chose this modest wooden home modeled after the dwellings of northern hill tribes. Preserved just as he left it, the two-storey retreat features his simple study and bedroom beside a serene carp pond and fruit orchard.
Highlights
- Traditional wooden stilt design of northern ethnic groups
- Authentic study and bedroom with original furnishings
- Peaceful carp pond and lush botanical surroundings
- Fascinating contrast to the French colonial palace
