Nha Rong Harbor, or Uncle Ho’s Museum is situated on the junction of the Saigon River, at the end of Nguyen Tat Thanh street. On June 5th 1911, it was here that President Ho Chi Minh boarded the ship "Latouche Treville Admiral" to set out on a long journey to find a solution to liberate the country. Nha Rong was formerly the representative office of the French Maritime Transport Company (a subsidiary of the French shipping company “Messageries Pharitimes”). The office was built in 1862 and used as the residence for the general manager as well as the place for selling boat tickets. It has been called Nha Rong (The Dragon House) because there are two statues of dragons on its roof. It was in November 1862 that the first ship left Nha Rong Harbor.
On September 3rd 1979, the HCMC People’s Committee made a decision of converting Nha Rong Harbor to "Uncle Ho’s Museum" (The Ho Chi Minh Museum at Nha Rong Harbor). Plenty of pictures and items relating to President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary life are shown inside. Since then, the museum has greeted millions of visitors from all over the country as well as from foreign countries.
