Ho Chi Minh’S Stilt House

Unclaimed

Growing up I heard so much about Ho Chi Minh so it was rather special to visit this incredibly humble house. It says a lot about the man. The house is a simple wooden stilt house, reflecting Ho Chi Minh's modest lifestyle. It has been preserved as a museum, allowing visitors to see the living quarters and personal belongings of Ho Chi Minh. The Stilt House is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is part of the larger Presidential Palace complex, which includes other historical buildings and structures.

Such a great part of history to witness! Growing up, I studied the Vietnam War and was delighted to be able to see the house where he lived and worked up close. Things were well protected in glass cabinets and behind a wooden fence.

In order to access this tourist spot, tourists must proceed through security point. The reason is because the house is inside the incumbent presidental palace safegurarded by the police. Former president Ho spent his political career in his office which look really humble.

The house is made of wood and very small, only have 2 rooms. There are 2 guards in the entrance.
