Hue Royal Tombs
Start the tour after pick-up at your hotel in Hue City centre from your tour guide, and visit Royal tombs in Hue.
The first tomb is the tomb of Minh Mang Emperor, who had 600 concubines, 142 children, and 78 sons. The tomb is leaning on the mountains and faces the head of the Perfume River. Your tour guide also will tell you a scary secret that might not be in the guide books or on the internet.
Head to Tomb of the 12th Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Khai Dinh Emperor, which is the smallest tomb but also known as the most expensive and beautiful tomb in the tomb system of the Nguyen dynasty and over the World. It is also one of the new important heritage sites in the world.
Next, visit the Royal tomb of the 4th Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, the Tu Duc Tomb. Constructed between 1864 and 1867, it is the most popular and impressive of the royal mausoleums. Tu Duc Emperor designed it himself to use before and after his death. The enormous expense of the tomb and the forced labour used in its construction spawned a coup plot discovered and suppressed. Tu Duc’s tomb is located 5km south of Hue on Van Nien Hill in Duong Xuan Thuong village.
On the way to get back to your hotel, you will have a chance to stop by at Incense making village to learn how to make incense and frankincense by hand with the locals, where you will get to keep what you made as a souvenir.
