It is expected that around 80,000 light meals will be served free of charge to local and foreign tourists visiting Hanoi’s iconic historical site during the country’s major holidays this year, including Reunification Day (April 30) and International Workers’ Day (May 1); President Ho Chi Minh’s birthday (May 19), and Vietnam’s National Day (September 2).

Dang Huong Giang, Director of the Hanoi Department of Tourism, said this would help promote Hanoi as a “safe – friendly – quality, and attractive” tourist attraction.

According to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Management Board, the mausoleum will be open to the public from 7:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. during Reunification Day and International Workers’ Day.

After that, the Mausoleum will be temporarily closed from June to August 14. However, local and international visitors can still lay flowers at the mausoleum, attend daily flag-raising and lowering ceremonies, and visit other works and tourist attractions at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Relic Sites Complex. Activities in honor of President Ho Chi Minh and the heroic martyrs will resume on August 15.

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Guard Command said the renovation includes the reception areas, panels, posters, and slogans to ensure the best conditions for compatriots and international visitors visiting “Uncle Ho”.

Located at No.2 Hung Vuong Street, Ba Dinh District, the facility is usually open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., except on Mondays and Fridays.
