Leaders of the Party and the State,  guests from ministries, departments, central and local agencies, as well as those from Vietnam and abroad, were all warmly welcomed to the Presidential Palace, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the Museum dedicated to him to learn about President Ho Chi Minh's life, career, ideology, morality, and style. Almost a million of them are domestic tourists.
