Nguyen Kings' Tombs

Posted by Hoàng Nguyên On 06:58 No comments

There are eight royal tombs in Hue, being the final resting places of the Nguyen Kings. Construction of the tombs was very meticulous and started while the king was still alive. Most of the tombs face the southwest, direction of the Imperial city. Each toms consists of two complexes. The first is reserved for funeral services and the second one is exclusively for the toms. Generally, each tomb is enclosed in a surrounding rampart called "la thanh".

However, each tomb internal arrangement is different from one another; particular arrangements reflected each king's points of view, personality and tastes.
