Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This time, the tour was conducted from the open-top bus. At first, we planned to visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, but since we didn't have that much attention, we decided to leave it to the city sightseeing course of the open-top bus considering the time required. On the day of the tour, almost no visitors were seen, and only the size left an impression.

We went to Ba Dinh Square to catch the early morning 6am flag raising ceremony. It was raining when we went, so it wasn't too crowded. This is a daily flag raising ceremony, with the flag lowering taking place at 9pm. Popular with locals and tourists alike.

Got up very early one morning to take in the 6 am flag raising ceremony. Not really sure it was worth the early start. Opposite the HCM Mausoleum is the parliament building. Otherwise this is an imposing square and not much else.

This is "Quáng truòng Ba Dinh", the historical "Ba Dinh Square". Here, in 1945, Ho Chi Minh himself proclaimed the independence of the "Democratic Republic of Vietnam"! Today, it is one the few green and unoccupied areas of urban Hanoi and a revered pilgrimage site. Here, "Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum" was built, displaying his embalmed body. Other important public buildings were also built around here, as the Presidential Palace Historical Site, the National Assembly and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Planning and Investiments. Combine your visit with important "Ba Dinh Square's" nearby attractions as "Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum", "Ho Chi Minh's Museum", "Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House", "Presidential Palace Historical Site", "Temple of Literature and National University" and "One Pillar Pagoda". It means a long day strolling along Vietnam's recent history. Enjoy!

I went here before the pandemic - Outside the mausoleum is a huge square called Ba Dinh Square where President Ho Chi Minh read the Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Vietnam's huge flag pole is in the center of the square.

Of importance to the Vietnamese, and interesting to visit to find out a little more about the inner workings of the Vietnamese government. As a public space it is open and green and a bit of a contrast to the rest of Hanoi.

Although I've never been, this square feels like Moscow's Red Square would be like. Vast and open.
There are many tributes to Ho Chi Minh here, from the giant mausoleum to the place he lived in.
Well worth your visit.

The lady at security check point is very very very rude. I brought a Lambskin Chanel which easily gets dirty. So when passing the security check I took out my own plastic bag and put it under my bag. This lady laughed at me in a very annoying and rude manner. Such a shame on her that she doesn’t do her duty but judging how other people carry their own bag. Worst behaved people we encountered in Hanoi. Also she doesn’t allow someone to wear 3M mask yet forces some other people to take down considering the poor air quality. Understand that tourists may need to take down mask to show respect but at least she should treat all tourists equally with same requirements.
