Hue is famous for many historical places, and the Tomb of King Thieu Tri is one of the historical monuments of this beautiful city. Thanks to its ancient architecture and unique carvings, the tomb attracts a large number of tourists annually. Therefore, if you have a chance to visit Hue, Thieu Tri tomb should be included in your travel itinerary.

1. Things to know about the history of Tomb of King Thieu Tri

  • Address: Thuan Dao mountain, Cu Chanh village, Thuy Bang commune, Huong Thuy district, about 8 km from the center of Hue city.

Tomb of King Thieu Tri is the resting place of King Thieu Tri – the 3rd King of the Nguyen Dynasty. He passed away on November 4, 1847, due to a serious illness. At that time, the tomb was not erected, so his corpse was taken to Long An Palace.

Before his death, King Thieu Tri had commended the distinctive architecture of his tomb to his son, King Tu Duc. In February 1948, King Tu Duc started constructing the tomb for his father. A month later, the tunnel used for transporting King Thieu Tri’s coffin to the tomb was ready. In November 1948, the stele with a 2,500-word inscription written by King Tu Duc was put in the tomb. 

In May 1948, the main architectural features of the tomb were completed. In June 1948, King Tu Duc personally came to the site for a final inspection, then brought his father’s coffin into the tomb 10 days later.

2. What are the special features of Tomb of King Thieu Tri Hue?

2.1. The unique architecture of Thieu Tri Tomb

The structure of King Thieu Tri’s tomb consists of 2 main areas: the tomb area and the worship area.

  • The tomb area is located in front of Nhuan Trach lake, connecting with Dien lake in the worship area. Behind Nhuan Trach lake is a three-arched entrance gate made of copper that leads to the Bai Dinh courtyard. The yard has rows of statues of soldiers and animals as their mounts. Going inside the area is Duc Hinh House, which collapsed in the past. 
  • The worship area is 100 meters to the left of Duc Hinh House. After going through the three-arched-entrance gate of this area, tourists will see a big yard. At the end of the yard is the Hong Trach Mon gate, featuring a red tile roof. Through this gate is another yard surrounded by lush greenery. Opposite the gate is the Bieu Duc Tomb, where the ancestral tablets of King Thieu Tri and his wife, Queen Tu Du, are located in the center of it. Its ceiling is also embellished with 450 relief-carved poems and images of dragons.
