Reunification Palace (Thong Nhat Conference Hall) is located at 106 Nguyen Du, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City was the former presidential palace of old South Vietnam. In the morning of 30 April 1975, communist tanks rushed through the palace gates. In the palace, you will feel how the south Vietnamese president lived. Almost everything has been left the same, including the network of tunnels in the basement. Originally called Norodom Palace and Palace of Indochina Governor General, it was built in 1868 and inaugurated in 1873.

After 1954, Ngo Dinh Diem, South Vietnam’s President, and his family lived and worked in Norodom Palace. In 1963, this palace was heavily destroyed by bombs. President Diem commanded the remains to be destroyed and to build a new palace to be called Doc Lap Palace or Independence Palace. The new palace was built on 120,000 m2 area and covered 4,500 m2.
