president ho chi minh residence
Located in a large garden at the back of the Presidential palace is a winding road covered with pebbles and bordered with house: Uncle Ho's Residence and office from may 1958 until his death.

At the back is a garden of fruit trees, where the luxuriant milk fruit tree donated to Uncle Ho by southern compatriots in 1954 stands between two lines of hai hung orange trees. Other valuable trees belonging to more than 30 species supplied by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Forestry and several Vietnamese provinces represent the wide variety of trees growing in the country.

There are also trees imported from foreign nations, such as Ngan Hoa trees, miniatures rose bushes, areca trees from the Caribbean and Buddhist bamboo trees. Dozens of species of orchid also grow here. The basement of the residence used to be the meeting place of the Politburo.

There are two small rooms upstairs: a study and a bedroom. A wooden bed occupies half of the bedroom and a small wooden table is where the book "Resistance Against the Yuan" was placed.

Items that belonged to Uncle Ho include a paper fan, a palm-leaf fan, a small thermos, a glass, a radio and an electric fan given to the president by the Japanese Communist Party. Next to the house is Uncle Ho's fish -Breeding pond.
