The D67 House And Bunker At Hanoi's Citadel

An exception to the ancient buildings in the Citadel complex in Hanoi is the D67 House. It was built in 1967 as the headquarters for the North Vietnamese military command of the Vietnam People's Army.

The unassuming building, looking a bit like a mid-century modern country home. Valet parking for your jeep.


Inside, a series of mint green walled rooms for meeting and planning.

The main war room, run by General Giap.


If things get rough, there's the option to head underground, beyond the reach of any bombing. The stairs down and a room crammed with communications gear.

Replicating the surface level logistics, another command center room.
