The first time visiting Hanoi , Uncle Ho's mausoleum was the first destination that Thuy An (Hue) thought of, the place every Vietnamese person looks to, especially on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the country's founding.

On the historic Ba Dinh Square, under the golden sunlight of summer, Thuy An and many other young people also dressed up in white ao dai to capture beautiful moments.

"This trip I have 3 days in Hanoi so I really want to visit famous places in the capital. To me, Uncle Ho's mausoleum is the most sacred place because this is where President Ho Chi Minh rests.

Ba Dinh Square is also where Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. I, like many other young people, really want to come here to preserve memories before this special occasion," Thuy An shared.
