The Nguyen Dynasty Tombs of Hue

The tombs are not far from Hue and are spread out along the banks of the Perfume River. It’s one of the most popular places to Vietnam travel and I personally think the most beautiful of the tombs are Minh Mang, Khai Dinh, Tu Doc, Thieu Tri and Dong Kanh.

The tombs were built according to religious outlines including symmetrically balanced geometrical angles and symbolic motifs. Each tomb has its own character with surrounding gardens, small bridges and walkways. In the Khai Dinh tomb you can see intricate ceramic and glass work and it is perhaps the most beautiful of the tombs
