Hotel in Hue
- Our driver and tour guide will come to pick you up at your hotel in the Hue city center area. We also support pickups from accommodations outside the downtown.
The Mausoleum of Minh Mang- the second Nguyen Emperor, is a well-preserved establishment located on a favorable hill with unspoiled surroundings. As one of the oldest tombs, it follows the vintage traditional architecture with symmetrical structure, iconic red painting, and opulent materials. Furthermore, these constructions are emphasised with the picturesque setting of lakes and lush plants.
Mausoleum of Khai Dinh Emperor is the most different of all. It's the latest tomb built in 1920 and dedicated to the second-to-last emperor of Khai Dinh. With foreign materials and a fusion of various architectural schools, the tomb looks exotic and steps out of the conventional the Nguyen's architectural styles.
It's undeniable that the Mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc is one of the most gorgeous among the seven Hue royal tombs. It stands beautifully in a peaceful valley covered with forests and rivers, significantly enhancing its poetic vibes. In terms of architecture, Tu Duc Tomb is known for its traditional royal designs, complicated details, and luxurious materials.
Moreover, while visiting this place, you will learn about Tu Duc Emperor's life, career, beliefs, and romantic souls.
You will also drop by a traditional incense-making village in Hue. Hue is famous for religious places, such as pagodas, temples, and tombs. And the most common offering from people who visit these places is incense. Thuy Xuan Village is a major supplier of this offering. Thus, you can learn about the local worship customs by visiting this place.
