The President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace is a particularly important historical and cultural relic site of Vietnam. This is where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked for the last 15 years of his life (from December 1954 to September 2, 1969).

At Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, Queen of Belgium Mathilde and his wife Nguyen Thi Minh Nguyet visited each room and the artifacts associated with President Ho Chi Minh's life preserved here.

Uncle Ho's mansion is where President Ho Chi Minh lives and works in the summer, and is also a place where he meets and exchanges work with leaders in the Politburo, officials in charge of ministries, branches or localities, especially cadres and soldiers from the South who go to the North to treat and work.

The upper floor of the stilt House has an office and a bedroom of the Son. The studio has arranged a table, a chair, and a bookshelf. The bottom of the book price is a typewriter, used by President Ho Chi Minh every day.

In the bedroom, the amenities of a person's life are simple: a wooden bed with a canopy, in winter there is an additional mattress, cotton blanket and a small electric heater. On the desks of the person's bedroom, there are still some books, magazines, a sand hat and a semiconductor station of overseas Vietnamese in Thailand to give to the person.

On the small cabinet placed at the head of the bed is still a watch and the book The resistance war against Mong invasion in the 13th century that Nguoi is reading.

President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked in this house for the last 11 years of his life (1958-1968). Currently, nearly 250 documents of Uncle Ho and the entire architecture and campus of the stilt House are still preserved and maintained as in the last days of President Ho Chi Minh living and working here.
