In the bustling district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, stands a remarkable building - the Unified Palace, which is not only a landmark of the city, but also a shining symbol of the Vietnamese national spirit. This palace, from the "Norodom Palace" during the French colonial period, to the "Independence Palace" after independence, and then to the "Unification Palace" symbolizing national unity, each step deeply marks the changes in Vietnamese history and the struggle of the nation.

Looking back to the late 19th century, French colonizers initiated the construction of this French classical building by the Governor General of Southern Vietnam, La Grandier, in order to consolidate their rule in Vietnam. In 1869, the "Norodom Palace" rose from the ground, covering an area of 20000 square meters. It took three years to complete and became the office of the Governor of ** in French India. However, as history progressed, the fate of this palace also changed. In 1954, the French withdrew from Vietnam and handed over the palace to the Vietnamese government, which was renamed "Independence Palace", marking a great victory for the Vietnamese people to get rid of colonial rule and regain independence.

During the Vietnam War, although the Unification Palace was destroyed by the war, the Republic of Vietnam rebuilt it on its original site and used it as the presidential residence. Until the fall of Saigon in 1975, the Republic of Southern Vietnam officially changed it to the "Unified Palace", marking the complete reunification of North and South Vietnam.At this point,This palace not only witnessed a significant turning point in Vietnamese history, but also became a symbol of national unity, implyingThe Vietnamese people's firm belief and unremitting pursuit of national unity.
