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.

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, 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. ② Office complex: almost all bright yellow French buildings, the interior is currently used as exhibitions, there are graphic exhibition rooms, home furnishings, and classic car showrooms (3 Ho Chi Minh's original car: one is a Soviet Gis brand, is the top bulletproof car of Stalin's era, The car is a red flag car; the other two are the Jim brand and the French logo, the latter is the loot of the victory of the anti-French war), and there is a two-story building surrounded by no walls, which is the office place of Ho Chi Minh in the summer, and it is cooler and breathable. ③ Mango Road: A boulevard, named after the mango trees planted on both sides, is full of ripe mangoes that fell.
