The Independence Palace (Dinh Độc Lập), also known as Reunification Hall, stands as one of the most significant historical sites in Ho Chi Minh City. This full walkthrough explores the 1966 modernist architecture and the “frozen in time” interiors that played a pivotal role in the conclusion of the Vietnam War.
From the high-stakes Conference Hall where President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned, to the intricate network of the underground war bunkers, this video provides a detailed look at every floor of the palace. We explore the 120,000 square meter site, including the Presidential offices, the private cinema, and the rooftop helipad featuring the evacuation helicopter.
Outside in the gardens, we visit the Palace Museum and the historic relics of April 30, 1975, specifically Tank 843 and the F-5 Fighter Jet.
