We did, of course, have to visit the Royal Tombs just outside of Hue…….
First was the tomb of Tu Duc…….
This has a beautiful lake and it was very pleasant walking around…...
It had been a summer palace for the king and so had some beautiful buildings…...
guarded by mandarins….
….. next was the tomb of Khai Dinh…….. this had a lot of steps…..very steep steps!
and at the top one arrives in a courtyard with civil and military figures, all standing guard...…...
This was a rather gloomy tomb area!
Then on to the next... the Minh Mang tomb which was situated on another beautiful lake……
….very different roofs…...
…..beautiful and peaceful….....
