Discover the tomb of King Gia Long
The tomb is a complex of architectural works covering 42 mountains and hills. Dai Thien Tho is the largest mountain, so it was chosen as the name of the tomb.
Gia Long tomb is in fact a complex of many tombs of the Nguyen royal family, including Thien Tho – the tomb of Emperor Gia Long and his wife - is located in the central location.
The tomb is divided into three main parts. In the middle stand the tombs of the King and Queen.
After the Honour court and up on the hill top is Buu Thanh, containing symbol of happiness and longevity.
On the right of the complex is Minh Thanh Temple, where the King and his wife are honored. Formerly, here’s the place to display artifacts related to the king’s military life. On the left is a stele pavilion, with 2 parallel coal-black roof steles for the couple. Those simple yet elegant steles are said to symbolize the love and loyalty of them throughout war and peace.
