- Marek MrooApril 4, 2013Get at the square arround 9pm! Guards will take flage down, and if you are lucky, sometimes they will fold it into flower shape! ^^ Worth to see, if you like stuff like this! At 6am they rise the flagUpvote25DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
- Dwight Jason RonanMay 18, 2015MUST VISIT: Never miss this impressive structure when visiting Hanoi! The queue towards Ho Chi Minh's embalmed body is long but it will only take you less than an hour to pass through the plaza.Upvote11Downvote
- Russell HirschornNovember 5, 2016Ho Chi Minh isnt there for three months a year. Check before visiting. If he isnt there go at night, really nice when it is lit. Located near lots of other sites.Upvote8Downvote

- Richard BurkhillOctober 19, 2023When you take in the magnitude of what this 1 man means, this is a very special place. Go between 07:00 and 10:30 as otherwise you cannot enter. Free but very strict, no photos, you follow a path.UpvoteDownvote

- Jenya SMarch 5, 2019Make sure your knees and shoulders are covered, or they won’t let you into the square. Same as in temple, so always a good idea to carry a scarf for “emergency” cover ups.UpvoteDownvote
