North Vietnamese tank that crashed through the Presidential Palace front gates in 1975, signaling the end of the Vietnam War.

Former Presidential Palace is now known as Independence Palace. This historic building was made famous when a North Vietnamese tank

crashed through its front gates in 1975, signaling the end of the Vietnam War. It has changed little since that time and is now retained as a museum.

The tour included a visit to the reception and dining rooms of the President’s quarters, the basement with its ancient American-made telecommunications equipment still in place, and strategic military maps lining the walls.
