Ba Dinh Square

Ba Dinh Square is the largest public square in Hanoi, Vietnam. There, on 2 September 1945, Ho Chi Minh read the declaration of independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where his embalmed body lies, was built on the square in the 1970s, and it is the setting for Vietnam's main state ceremonies.
