郭润龙浪迹天涯20230617 morning: 1. "Pating Square" is an iconic landscape in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The political center of Vietnam. In 1945, Vietnam's national leader and father of the country, Ho Chi Minh, announced the founding of the country in this square. His body has been stored in the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall" on the square. Therefore, the significance of Bating Square is similar to China's Tiananmen Square and Russia's Red Square. It is a national assembly square, with flag-raising ceremony held every 6:30 in the morning and honor guards at 10:00. "Bating" is a township in Eshan County, Qinghua Province, Vietnam. In 1880s, the anti-French movement "Bating Uprising" broke out in this township. Bating Square was named as a memorial. Entering the park is free and requires security checks. ① Address: downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to drive. ③ peak season: No. ④ duration: 2 hours. ⑤ Note: The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is closed from June 14 to August 16 every year (maintaining Ho Chi Minh's crystal coffins and remains), and every Monday and Friday. 2. The area of Bating Square is not large, the area is14.5 hectares, and the red letter with a striking blue bottom is marked with the slogan "Long live the Socialist Republic of Vietnam / Chairman Ho Chi Minh will always live in our hearts". Near the square there is: ① Big Lawn: On the east side of the square, it is grid-like, and you can walk on the stone road in the grass. The lawn is the best photo and photo spot for taking pictures of the main entrance of the square. ② Communist Party of Vietnam Party Department: In the building on the northeast side of the square, there is a Vietnamese national emblem hanging on it, which is very similar to the Chinese national emblem, but it is the same difference as the national flag from 5 stars to 1 star. Vietnamese people can hang the national flag, but it is illegal to hang the national emblem. ③ Offices of various departments of the Vietnamese government: on the periphery of the large lawn, across the road. 3, Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is located in the center of the square, built in 1975, is a square building shaped like "Lenin's Tomb", very conspicuous, the two lines of Vietnamese characters on the building are "Chairman / Ho Chi Minh", the title in the former name after the, and the Chinese title order is the opposite. The museum is placed with a crystal coffin containing Ho Chi Minh's remains for tourists to look up. The function is the same as the "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall" in Tiananmen Square, but unfortunately today is the maintenance of the remains from June 14 to August 16 every year. I regret that I did not enter the museum this time. 4. The "Former Residence of Ho Chi Minh/President's Mansion" is located on the northwest side of the square. It is a garden-style French building complex, including: ① Chairman's Mansion: a bright yellow French villa built by French Auguste • Henry, built in 1906, with a total of 30 rooms. It was named one of the 13 most beautiful residences in the world by the American Architectural Digest magazine. During the French colonial period, the presidential palace was used as the "pre-French Indochina Federal Governor's Mansion". After Japan's defeat and surrender in 1945, according to the division of the Allied headquarters, China assumed the task of landing in Vietnam north of 16 degrees north latitude. In this building, the famous anti-Japanese patriotic general Lu Han participated as a Chinese representative. The ceremony accepted the surrender of six people, including Japanese representatives and 38th Army Commander Tuqiao Yongyi, and became the only overseas landing place in China. The presidential palace then served as the office of successive Vietnamese presidents, including Ho Chi Minh (that is, Vietnam's current...word limit is exceeded, and continues in the last picture...
