Hi All,
During the French colonial period they built a palace for their governor of Indochina. When the French pulled out in 1955 it became the Presidential Palace.
In 1966 the palace was bombed and though the damage was not extensive the South Vietnamese government decided to build a new palace.
This is where the war ended in April 1975. This tank broke through the gate, the crew rushed the palace and the President surrendered.
The President of Vietnam is in Hanoi, This building is now a museum showcasing the beautiful furnishings of the Presidential Palace.
This rug was a gift from China.
This is the Command Post, usually referred to as the map room.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
