What you need to know
The complex spans an area of over 30 hectares. From April 1947 to September 1950, it served as the headquarters of the Central Department of the People's Public Security. Today, it is a national historical monument (status granted in 1999).
The main landmark is the 21-meter granite monument standing atop a hill overlooking the surroundings. It consists of 450 tons of stone and depicts five groups of law enforcement officers. The complex's museum houses over 2,000 artifacts reflecting the formation of the Vietnamese police. In addition, historical buildings have been restored here: leadership houses, administrative offices, a printing press, and warehouses.
The dry season offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the vast area of the complex and walking around.
