People wait to pay tribute to late President Ho Chi Minh
According to the management board of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, between May 10 and 15, the mausoleum received nearly 10,000 visitors per day, and the figure continues to rise. Even temperatures upwards of 40 degrees have not discouraged those wishing to pay respect.
