According to head of the district’s office of culture, information and tourism Nguyen Hai Linh, by visiting this website https://vr360.com.vn/projects/khu-luu-niem-chu-tich-ho-chi-minh, tourists can experience a vivid preview of the monument and its tours.

This technology simulates audio and visual experiences of the monument, allowing visitors to hear commentary and view their surroundings in all directions, much like in real life.

Accessing this website, visitors can experience both free-style tours and pre-set itineraries, he said, adding that besides this monument, tourists can preview other attractions on Co To island such as Mong Rong beach, Co To lighthouse, and Truc Lam pagoda, thus visualising and planning their trips in a more detailed and effective manner.

In the coming time, this technology will be applied to showcase other destinations such as Truc Lam Co To pagoda, and Thanh Lan island, he went on.
