Notable attractions include the wreckage of an American B-52 bomber, an M107 self-propelled gun, and a military tank that rammed through the gates of Saigon’s Presidential Palace, in the final day of the American War in 1975.


The sight of huge aero planes, helicopters, fighter jets and missiles just adds to the children's' excitement.


The Hanoi Flag Tower is within the museum campus, which is one of the symbols of the city and once a part of the Thang Long (the former name of Hanoi) Citadel, a World Heritage Site.


The Flag Tower (also known as the Ky Dai) relic is in the complex of the Vietnam Military History Museum.


The tower is over 33 meters tall and comprises a basement and a place for lookouts on top. It had survived during the French and American wars.
