Tu Duc Tomb: Hue’s serene imperial retreat
A trip to the Tu Duc Tomb Hue is a walk into a peaceful world of its own, a purposely constructed sanctuary made for an emperor who wished to retreat from the pressures of his reign. Far more than a burial ground, the compound was a living retreat for Tu Duc, a scholar and philosopher. The Tu Duc Tomb offers a unique glimpse into the Nguyen Dynasty, revealing the human story behind the imperial glory and the emperor’s deep love for his created heaven on earth.
