Historic buildings
Emperor Thu Duc, who was good at poetry and prose, chose a place worthy of him, showing the will of the profound and romantic personalities among the successive emperors of the Nguyen family. At that time, in order to avoid internal and external troubles, Emperor Sude ordered the construction of this mausoleum as a palace. When the construction started, Emperor Side named it Wannianji, and later it was renamed Qiangong, and after it collapsed, it was called Qianling. Behind the Qiangong Gate is the area where the emperor came to relax. In the middle is the Liangqian Hall, where the emperor used to do business, and now it is the place where the emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Ciyu, was worshipped. The entire Tu Duc Mausoleum looks a bit dilapidated. In the early years of liberation in 1975, the Nguyen Dynasty architecture was regarded as a feudal symbol and was not preserved until the early 1990s. It was listed as a national relic.

Chilling Vibes in Tu Duc Tomb, Hue, Vietnam
King Tu Duc Tomb in Hue, Vietnam.
This is one of the most famous tombs from Nguyen Dynasty - the last empire in Vietnam. King Tu Duc had no children, and he was the only King out of 13 Nguyen Kings that still lived after the tomb was completely constructed and used this tomb as a second palace for 16 years.
King Tu Duc is also a poet, so its architecture is breathtaking with chilling vibes.
