Hue: Tomb of Emperor Thieu Tri


This was our last stop of the afternoon in Hue. Actually the tomb is just outside of town.

Emperor Thieu Tri was only on the throne for seven years (1841-1847) and never wanted to bother anyone with his death, so the tomb was constructed by his son in 1848.

Statues leading up to the tomb itself:







Tree with what looks like some sort of offerings.




Lotus ponds.



This is the actual tomb.


But I found the lotus pond to be prettier.



On the other side there is a temple with the funerary tablets for the Emperor and his wife.
