With a total investment of nearly 100 billion VND. Although it is in the process of being renovated, in recent days this relic has still welcomed hundreds of visitors. "I visited some of the king's tombs before coming to Tu Duc's tomb. This is a tomb with the most beautiful architecture I have ever known, with the architecture and arrangement of the tomb quite neat and majestic. In particular, what impressed me was the system of lakes and trees surrounding the tomb", Mr. Dang Ngoc Nghia (32 years old, tourist from Hanoi ) shared.

Tu Duc Tomb was started in 1864 and basically completed in 1873. The project was built on an area of 12 hectares, located in Thuy Xuan Ward, Hue City (Thua Thien - Hue).
