The Reunification Palace

Built as the Presidential Palace in 1966 under the old Republic of Vietnam, it was renamed the Reunification Palace in 1975 when the peace accord was signed in 1975 there, reuniting North and South Vietnam. It is a perfectly preserved  bit of 1960's architecture-Vietnam style. Loved seeing it.
A North Vietnamese tank crashed through these gates in 1975, causing the surrender of the South Vietnamese President, and ending the war

I love the way they trim the trees


Nice staircase, eh?
