The Hồ Chí Minh Mausoleum (Vietnamese: Lăng Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh) is a large memorial to the

Republic of Vietnam.

Construction work began on September 2, 1973 and the structure was formally inaugurated on August 29,

the interior is gray, black, and red polished stone. The mausoleum's portico has the words "Chủ tịch Hồ
Chí Minh" inscribed across it, meaning "President Ho Chi Minh".

Rewrite this passage in spoken English which is often used by tour guides:

Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a popular travel destination, located in Quảng Ninh
province, Vietnam. Administratively, the bay belongs to Ha Long City, Cẩm Phả town, and part of Van
Don district. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and isles in various sizes and shapes. Ha Long
Bay is a center of a larger zone which includes Bái Tử Long bay to the northeast, and Cát Bà islands to the
southwest. These larger zones share similar geological, geographical, geomorphological, climate, and
cultural characters. According to local legend, when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the
gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and
jade which turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against
the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After
that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the earth, and then decided to live here. The place
where the mother dragon descended was named Hạ Long Bay (literally: "Descending Dragon Bay"); the
place where the dragon's children attended upon their mother was called Bái Tử Long island (Bái: attend
upon, Tử: children, Long: dragon), and the place where the dragon's children wriggled their tails violently
was called Bạch Long Vỹ island (Bạch: white- colour of the foam made when Dragon's children wriggled,
Long: dragon, Vỹ: tail).
