Located in a large garden at the back of the Presidential palace is a winding
road covered with pebbles and bordered with house: Uncle Ho's Residence and office
from may 1958 until his death.
At the back is a garden of fruit trees, where the luxuriant milk
fruit tree donated to Uncle Ho by southern compatriots in 1954 stands
between two lines of hai hung orange trees. Other valuable
trees belonging to more than 30 species supplied by the Ministry
of Agriculture, the Ministry of Forestry and several Vietnamese
provinces represent the wide variety of trees growing in the
country.
There are also
trees imported from foreign nations, such as Ngan Hoa trees,
miniatures rose bushes, areca trees from the Caribbean and Buddhist
bamboo trees. Dozens of species of orchid also grow here. The
basement of the residence used to be the meeting place of the
Politburo.
There are two small rooms upstairs: a study and a bedroom. A wooden
bed occupies half of the bedroom and a small wooden table is where
the book "Resistance Against the Yuan" was placed.
Items that belonged to Uncle Ho include a paper fan, a palm-leaf
fan, a small thermos, a glass, a radio and an electric fan given
to the president by the Japanese Communist Party.
Next to the house is Uncle Ho's fish -Breeding pond.
