郭润龙浪迹天涯20230617 Morning: 1. The "President's Mansion of Vietnam Ming" is located in "Bating Square" in Vietnam. Bating Square is an iconic landscape in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital. 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.

The presidential palace is a bright yellow French villa built by the French Auguste Henry, built in 1906, with a total of 30 rooms, and was selected as 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, which was then the office of successive Vietnamese presidents, including Ho Chi Minh (that is, Vietnam’s current president, the more friendly Wu Wen appreciation to China, may be in this building at this time, only 100 meters away from me), and has also received visits from many leaders. The presidential palace is currently not open to tourists, and can only watch and take pictures. In order to remember the history of French colonialism, Ho Chi Minh was unmarried and had no children for life, so he only worked in the presidential palace and did not live. He lived in the electrician dormitory shed next to the villa for a simple life. There was no toilet in the shed.
