Independence Palce (Also know as Reunification Palace) is the symbol of Vietnam history in the heart of Ho Chi Minh city. Many room inside the palaces are considered as luxury decoration at that time. Let's have a nice trip inside the palace:

Surrounded by Royal Palm trees, the dissonant 1960s architecture of this government building and the eerie mood that accompanies a walk through its deserted halls make it an intriguing spectacle. The first Communist tanks to arrive in Saigon (former name of Ho Chi Minh city) rumbled here on 30 April 1975 and it’s as if time has stood still since then. The building is deeply associated with the fall of the city in 1975, yet it's the kitsch detailing and period motifs that steal the show.
