If Tu Doc is buried somewhere here, it's a beautiful peaceful setting. A nice area to explore at your leisure when there are not large tour groups around. All the stories and myths about the place add to the intrigue. Good example of stonework and mosaics. Our local guide provided plenty of information on top of the little that we...

We only had time to do the one tomb and were glad we chose this one. It was an easy taxi ride to get to and not too crowded. My 10yr old daughter dressed up in the traditional costumes (for around $2) and we took some stunning pictures and had heaps of fun. Beautifully maintained temple with lots of history.
We went here by motorbike and the trip there was as much apart of the journey as the actual Tombs. There is a lot to see over quite a large area so take your time and try not to go on too hot a day. Tu Hieu Pagoda is on the way there.
Also a very beautiful place. Fairly big, make sure to bring enough water. A bit tricky to find if you're on your own, we had to stop and ask locals a couple of times, but the road along the river from minh mang was stunning and well worth the trouble.
The first tombs are interesting, good looking, in the process of renovation and full of people. Go to the last tombs, less people, more authentic and with the hazy weather as we had it looks even beter!
is he or isnt he buried there... Stories abound that his body is hidden elsewhere and that the poor slaves that buried him were beheaded so they couldn't say where. Our local guide disputed that. But lovely and peaceful, beautiful scenery, well worth visiting.
Lots of memorable items from his items on display. Seems he was a good King and good to the people. Life size statue and paintings of him.
The most modest looking of the 3 main royal tombs but still worth visiting if you like to see ancient looking architecture
The tomb looks more like another palace in a beautiful surrounding with lake and park. You should see it as a part of one of your tours (we did it as a part of Hue tour).
