Tank monument and tourists at Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City

Sizes available: 1024×683 | 600×400

A North Vietnamese tank monument on display is passed by two tourists visiting the Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City. The foreign men walking around the exhibit are wearing T-shirts and shorts.

The army green tank is numbered “843″ in white paint beside the gold star in red circle emblem of the North Vietnamese.

Now a museum concerning the fall of Saigon to the Communist North Vietnamese in 1975, the Reunification Palace formerly was the official residence for presidents of South Vietnam.
