(READ THE THIRD PICTURE FOR A SURPRISE ENDING) - the red sign is Happy New Year The splendid mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc (1848-1883) (a Nguyen Emperor). Built between 1864 and 1867, is perhaps the most exquisitely designed of the Nguyen mausoleums. It's built on a grand scale, but with a perfect eye for detail. Designed by Tu Duc himself, the mausoleum is set amidst fragrant pines and frangipani trees, surrounded by tranquil, lotus-filled waters. The emperor spent a lot of time here during the tomb's three years of construction. It was Tu Duc's habit to recline here in the gorgeous Xung Khiem Pavilion composing poetry and reflecting--one might suspect--on the transience of mundane existence. A lovely place indeed, but not without its dark side. When Tu Duc expired he was buried secretly, reputedly with great treasure. Reportedly all 200 of the servants involved in the burial were subsequently beheaded to keep the Emperor's final resting-place hidden from tomb robbers and safe from desecration! Hue, Vietnam |
