When visiting the Independence Palace, most tourists often choose the main Palace building or the exhibition building “From Norodom Palace to Independence Palace 1868-1966” as their main points of interest. They often forget that, in the left corner of the Palace grounds, facing Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai Street, atop a small mound, stands a small Octagonal House. This spot has no partitions or surrounding walls—only flowing breezes and gentle sunlight, completely embraced by green space. All of this gives the place a cool, peaceful feeling for visitors to stop, relax, and unwind amidst the fresh scenery.
Therefore, when you visit the Independence Palace, in addition to the familiar attractions, please take a moment to visit the Octagonal House. Because sometimes, beauty lies not only in splendor but in simplicity, elegance, and tranquility—a place that makes us slow down, listen to the wind, the leaves, and the peaceful rhythm of our own hearts.
