About Hue, Vietnam
Located in central Vietnam, Hue served as the imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945.

Within it lies the Imperial City, the Forbidden Purple City, and replicas of the Royal Theater — all offering a glimpse into Vietnam’s royal past.

Hue Tombs Tour Itinerary
9:00 AM – Our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Hue City. We begin the Hue Tombs Tour combined with a Hue Food Tour for a cultural and culinary experience.
🔸 Minh Mang Tomb
Our first stop is the tomb of Minh Mang, the second Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, known for his strict Confucian beliefs and grand legacy (he had 500 concubines and 142 children). This stunning royal tomb is nestled in a harmonious Feng Shui setting — surrounded by mountains and facing the Perfume River.
🔍 Insider Secret: Hear a mysterious legend about Minh Mang’s burial — a tale not found in guidebooks!
🔸 Khai Dinh Tomb
Next, we visit Khai Dinh Tomb, built for the 12th Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. This is the most opulent and visually striking royal tomb in Hue, blending Eastern and Western architectural styles. Often considered one of the most beautiful tombs in the world, its intricate mosaic decorations and concrete exterior make it a modern wonder.
🔸 Tu Duc Tomb
Our final tomb visit is Tu Duc Tomb, built between 1864–1867. Designed by the emperor himself, this tomb served as both a royal retreat and his final resting place. The construction cost and forced labor sparked a rebellion during his reign, adding a dramatic chapter to its history.
🔸 Thuy Xuan Incense Village
On our way back, we’ll stop by Thuy Xuan Village, where locals hand-make incense and frankincense. You’ll get a chance to create your own incense sticks — a perfect souvenir!
We will then return you safely to your hotel, marking the end of your enriching Hue Tombs Tour.
