1 – Minh Mang Tomb: solemn, serious

Emperor Minh Mang was the 2nd emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty (1820 – 1840). Minh Mang was known for his strict Confucian principles, which he incorporated into his rule and especially in rules used until now such as giving names to the next generation.
Minh Mang tomb, located on the west bank of the Perfume River, is considered to be one of the most majestic and well-preserved tombs in Hue. The tomb is surrounded by a lush pine forest and features a large courtyard, a ceremonial gate, and a series of pavilions and temples. The tomb’s design reflects the emperor’s vision of an ideal Confucian environment, with balance and symmetry in every aspect of the architecture and landscaping.

2 – Tu Duc Tomb: poetic, lyrical, graceful, refined

Emperor Tu Duc was the 4th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty (1848 – 1883). Tu Duc was known for his love of poetry, art, and philosophy, and was considered to be one of the most cultured emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Tu Duc tomb, located in a peaceful valley on the outskirts of Hue, is a masterpiece of Vietnamese architecture. The tomb’s design is a reflection of Tu Duc’s personality, with tranquil lakes, beautiful gardens, and poetic inscriptions throughout the grounds. The tomb also features a large stone stele pavilion, which houses a carved epitaph written by Tu Duc himself. Despite its peaceful and serene appearance, the tomb was actually used as a palace for Tu Duc during his later years, and many of the buildings were used to house his concubines and servants.

3 – Khai Dinh Tomb: sophisticated, polished, and refined

Emperor Khai Dinh was the twelfth emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty (1916 to 1925).
Khai Dinh tomb, located on a hillside outside of Hue, is a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and modern European architectural styles. The tomb’s construction was controversial at the time due to its extravagant cost and the heavy labor imposed on the local population.
However, the mausoleum’s ornate interior, including its walls covered in colorful mosaics made from glass and porcelain, has made it a popular attraction for tourists. The tomb’s design reflects Khai Dinh’s desire to modernize Vietnam and establish closer ties with France, which ruled over Vietnam as a colonial power at the time.
