Reunification in Ho chi minh city Vietnam

When it comes to Ho chi minh city Vietnam with the architectural monuments are typical, not unique to anyone not associated with Palace with historic role for the people of Vietnam, established position in economic exchanges, political and social for the entire Southeast Asia region as well as the world.
The front of the Reunification Palace is situated on the junction of Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Le Duan Street. 15ha campus. On this ground, on 23.2. 1868, the French Admiral De lagrandiere ceremony to lay the first stone, named Norodom Palace. Norodom Palace was built and completed three years later, this is the body representing the ruling apparatus of the territory of French Indochina.


  
French colonial period is the headquarters of the French governor called the South Palace Marshal, and the French called the Palais Norodom. Courier de Ho chi minh city in 1865 newspaper article: "The first study involved the construction of a palace for use as permanent headquarters for the implementation of the Governor began to replace the temporary home in a tube." And Marshal Palace is one of the huge edifice was built with that purpose, according to drawings by the architect Hermite (Hermite is also sketched blueprints Hong Kong town hall). According to historical documents, the first stone of Palace Marshal Admiral De Lagrandiere by placing himself on 23-2-1863. This is a historic stone blocks taken at Bien Hoa, a square with each side 50 cm wide, with holes, the inside contains the current age-old coin was gold, silver, copper, has touched the third Napoleon. Materials of construction has largely been transferred from France. Franco-German war (occurring in 1870) so this works lasted until 1873 to complete, particularly the palace decorated be extended two years later (1875). At that time Unified Avenue (now Le Duan Street) called Norodom Boulevard is still muddy, damp. This Palace is considered one the most beautiful public buildings in East Asia. 80m wide frontage, inside the living room to 800 people can be. Around a large garden full of trees planted are spectacular. Shortly before the palace, at the foot of the flagpole is placed a cannon as a more old-fashioned beauty to stately public buildings.
Many political events took place here for nearly a century under French colonial rule. After the failure Dien Bien Phu and the Geneva Accords in 1954, Norodom Palace was handed back to Vietnam. In 1954, Ngo Dinh Diem, the American seated on Norodom Palace. On 26/10/1956 Norodom Palace was renamed "Independence Palace", or Presidential. After two days of air force pilots of Saigon, Nguyen Van Cu and Pham Phu Quoc bomb the Independence Palace (dated 02/27/1962) to severe damage. Because the architecture is too old and should have more damage Diem's ​​decision to destroy the entire Norodom to build a new palace called the Palace.
Construction period lasted almost 3 years: on 31-10-1966 headquarters building is completed. During construction, a 6-month work was delayed due to the Saigon government internal fights and punched record coup, especially events Ngo Dinh Diem was overthrown and killed in May 11-1963.



This area of ​​about 12ha, with headquarters area about 2.000m2. The building has an area of ​​4.500m2, gom1 ground floor, 3 main floor, two mezzanines, one terrace may cast landing the helicopter, over 100 rooms, 4,000 lights, 400 telephone lines Dinh, a fortified basement, a backup radio, a tactical command room .... The author of this work is the architect Ngo Viet Thu, Khoi Nguyen, who won the Architecture in Rome. Architecture, the architect Ngo Viet Thu, the arrangement from inside to outside the front face, all represent an ancient oriental legend, a sacred ritual in traditions of the nation. We can see that all aspects of the Palace formed from the word Cat when the building is the center of the room credentials are comparable to the position of the Thai Hoa Palace in Hue Citadel .
On 8-4-1975 pilot Nguyen Thanh Trung use U.S. aircraft threw two bombs brought down the left wing headquarters, then fly out the release. Health speedy progress of the liberation army in Ho Chi Minh campaign history make the Saigon army no longer has resisted: Nguyen Van Thieu resigned president, delivered right back to Tran Van Huong, then redirect traffic Duong Van Minh hands. 11 hours 30 minutes on 30-4-1975, 203 Tank Brigade of the 2nd Corps under the direction of her liaison steel soil Cu Chi Nguyen Trung Kien (also known as span) straight into the Palace. At the flag flying on the revolutionary headquarters is also at the whole of the Saigon government under the control of Duong Van Minh to surrender unconditionally. Making the Palace became the military wing of the liberation of Saigon.
After Ho Chi Minh campaign, the Palace of Independence is the Commission's Work Force Management of Saigon. May 12-1975 at this conference Consultative unification. Also at this place took place the important meeting of the Central Communist Party of Vietnam, a number of unions to discuss the unification of the organization. With the historical significance of the Independence Palace renamed the Reunification Hall.
A certain nights, especially on festive occasions, watching the Reunification Palace lit fireworks and beams shine, for tourists, the Reunification Palace was put on a new icon: Air peace is cover throughout the country of Vietnam.

The wooden walls are not only a role for home protection but also a great ventilation system.
Later in 1945, the wall termite eaten wood has been replaced by brick. During remodeling in 1980, workers replaced the interior of the wooden termite feeding by pouring concrete into. Part exterior wood columns remain, they still seem to look ancient. Also, the workers also had to raise the base column 30 cm.
In 1790, Nguyen Anh, the last king of the Nguyen Dynasty, built the house for Adran Bishop, Pierre de Behaine Pigneau reside. The bishop had help Nguyen Anh in the war against the Tay Son peasant cloth. It is in this house, this bishop to teach Prince Canh, Nguyen Anh's son.
Originally, the house is located near Thi Nghe canal, located in the zoo now. In 1799, after losing Pigneau Pierre, a French bishop and others have to replace in the house, but between 1811 and 1864, the Hue court banned a Catholic, the house was closed. During the reign of Tu Duc, Mr. King has signed a peace treaty with France and the house was moved back to Bishop's Road and move on Alexandre de Rhodes, near the Cathedral.
