  Mausoleum of Emperor Minh Mang

  After lunch, we’ll continue the Hue City Tour from Da Nang. The emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty believed that this life was temporary and that the afterlife was the true existence. Everything they would need in the afterlife was carefully prepared in advance. Upon ascending the throne, emperors consulted Feng Shui experts to select the perfect sites for their royal tombs. Remember, nothing inside the tombs was ever used in life — everything was intended solely for the afterlife. Our first stop is the Royal Tomb of Emperor Minh Mang, the second emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. Perched on the mountains and facing the head of the Perfume River, the tomb is not only architecturally stunning but also holds fascinating stories and secrets, which our guide will reveal.

  Next, we’ll visit the Khai Dinh Tomb, the most elaborate and costly of all Nguyen Dynasty royal tombs. Unlike traditional designs, it combines influences from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, as well as French and Vietnamese architecture. You’ll be amazed by its intricate details — a true masterpiece of art and craftsmanship. Materials for the tomb were imported from around the world, including cement from France and colored glass, porcelain, and ceramics from China and Japan, showcasing exceptional inlaid artistry. This is also a fantastic spot for photography, offering countless opportunities for memorable shots. After the visit, we’ll drive you safely back to your hotel in Da Nang, marking the end of the Hue City Tour from Da Nang.
