Ho Chi Minh's Former Residence

Ho Chi Minh's Former Residence is located at No. 2 Liushi Road. It was originally the Nanyang Inn, a two-story building constructed of brick and wood. In August 1942, Ho Chi Minh, then the leader of Indochina (Vietnam), came to China to establish contact with anti-Japanese revolutionary forces in Vietnam. He was arrested by local authorities in Jingxi County and was released from Liuzhou Prison in September 1943. From September 1943 to September 1944, Ho Chi Minh stayed at the Nanyang Inn, during which he carried out a series of significant activities in Liuzhou. The residence today preserves the desk, chair, wooden bed, and washbasin stand that Ho Chi Minh used, as well as a large number of manuscripts, photographs, and a bronze bust of Ho Chi Minh gifted by Vietnam. It was designated as a cultural relics protection unit at the autonomous region level in 1997.
