    The former official residence of the French Governor General is now the Presidential Palace. Ho Chi Minh himself refused to live in this luxurious villa after he was appointed President of North Vietnam. He preferred more modest accommodation - first "House 54" and then, from 1958, "Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House".

    The palace was built between 1900 and 1908 and is not open to visitors.
