开心果ft:“The ticket is 200,000 Vietnamese dong. I bought it in advance through Ctrip. It is only 62 yuan, which is a must-visit place in Hue. It is not very good. It depends on personal preference. The Hue Imperial City in Vietnam was built in 1802. In the fourth year of Gia Long in the Nguyen Dynasty (1805), it began to be expanded and renovated on a large scale. After decades of construction, it has reached its current size. Located in the center of Hue City, the Xiang River winds through the capital, the imperial city, the Forbidden City and the inner city. The overall building is roughly facing north and south. The architectural style is basically modeled after the Forbidden City in Beijing, while the outer city surrounding the imperial city building, the capital, is a French-style building. The city is square with a circumference of 9,950 meters. The imperial city is also square, surrounded by a moat, and each side of the city wall is more than 500 meters long. The Hue Imperial City is the largest existing ancient building complex in Vietnam, representing the highest achievement of ancient Vietnamese architectural art. It was listed in the World Heritage List in 1993.”
mandymrsc:“Unique, rich and noble, a combination of Chinese and Western styles!!
This imperial mausoleum is very different from the imperial mausoleums of China or his ancestors a hundred years ago. Some Vietnamese couples also took wedding photos here. I can't believe it.”
johnswj90:“One of the most important Buddhist structure, built in 1601 dedicated to the Celestial Goddess, and also serves as the main shrine frequently patronized by the Nguyen Emperors.”
icqpup:“The Tu Duc Mausoleum is the largest of the Hue Mausoleums, with a traditional Chinese architectural style. It is very large, with a pool and a ancestral temple, and the terrain is undulating. There are also huge stone tablets, probably recording the life story. This pomp reminds me of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, although it is not as regular as the Ming and Qing imperial tombs in China, with several front and back entrances and symmetrical layouts, but it is guided by the terrain. The ancestral tablets are all written in Chinese characters, which Vietnamese people can't understand, but Chinese people have no problem.
You can buy a joint ticket for the Hue Palace, which will save a little.
If you have time, visit both the Tu Duc Mausoleum and the Khai Dinh Mausoleum, and you can see two representative imperial tombs with completely different styles.”
M49***70:“The cemetery is beautifully constructed, and gardens with waters always exude spirit and vitality. Surprisingly, the mausoleum was built in such an elegant environment. The mausoleum's dignity and solemnity were desalinated because of the beautiful scenery created by plants and trees. So the whole mausoleum did not feel a bit gloomy. I just wanted to stay in this beautiful garden for a little longer. Unfortunately, time was not allowed.”

This is an ancient capital of Vietnam, and naturally there are many witnesses of its time as a capital. Hue Imperial City is of course a must-see attraction, and Hue Royal Tombs are another attraction that is worth a careful visit. Its royal tombs are relatively scattered, and the best way is of course to rent a car or a motorcycle and enjoy them slowly according to the map. If you don't have enough time, it is enough to choose two or three to visit.”
