Minh Mang Tomb

The Minh Mang Tomb is located 12 kilometers from Hue on Mount Cam Khe, close to the Bang Lang fork on the Perfume River's west bank. With the help of 10,000 workers and craftsmen, the Minh Mang tomb was constructed beginning in 1840 and finished in 1843.

The Minh Mang Tomb, regarded as the most opulent of the Nguyen Dynasty royal tombs, is a collection of 40 structures, including palaces, temples, pavilions, and other structures. Many people praised it for being the perfect blend of man-made and natural beauty, where architecture blends perfectly with the surrounding environment. The tomb has a total area of 475 hectares and is encircled by walls, ponds, and pine trees,... When you stop at the entry, you can see the Dai Hong Mon gate, which has three openings: one on each side, in the middle, and on the right and left. Visitors can enter through either of the gate's two sides, but not through the center entrance, which was solely utilized by the emperor.
