Minh Mang tomb

Minh Mang tomb

Minh Mang Tomb is located in Huong Tho Commune, Hue City, Thua Thien Hue Province. Minh Mang Tomb (Hieu Lang) is located on Cam Ke mountain about 14km from Hue city, near Bang Lang junction, where the source forms the Perfume River. Construction of the mausoleum began in September 1840 and was continued and completed by King Thieu Tri in 1843. Minh Mang Tomb is a large-scale architectural model of 40 large and small buildings, including palaces, temples and memorials... arranged on an axis along the 700m long Shinto road from Dai Hong gate outside. They reached the foot of the wall of La Citadel behind the king's tomb. The shape of the mausoleum resembles that of a person resting with his knees up on Kim Phung mountain, his legs stretched out to the river junction in front, the two halves of Trung Minh lake like naturally hanging arms. Shinto's opening is Dai Hong Mon (main gate to the Mausoleum), 9m high, 12m wide, this gate has three paths, the middle path only opens once to bring the king's coffin into the mausoleum and then closes tightly. There are also two side gates, Ta Hong Mon and Huu Hong Mon. Behind Dai Hong Mon is a 45m x 45m wide yard, on both sides there are two rows of statues of officials, elephants and horses. At the end of the yard is Bi communal house, on the stele there is the song "Thanh Duc Than Cong" (attributed to King Minh Mang). Next is the court yard; Hien Duc Mon opens the electric immersion area, which is limited to a square layer symbolizing the ground. Sung An Palace is located in the center, surrounded by the Left, Right, Phoi Dien (front) and Left Huu Tung rooms (back) which are also limited within the square wall. Hoang Trach Mon is the construction that ends the electrical impregnation area. Passing through three bridges across Trung Minh lake, you will reach Minh Lau. Minh Lau is the light tower, where the king meditates and is the place where the soul of the First Emperor goes. A moon-shaped lake named Tan Nguyet embraces Buu in a circle in the middle. This is the beginning of the boundless world, the King's resting place in the heart of a hill named Khai Trach Son. On both sides of the main axis of the mausoleum, there are many auxiliary works located symmetrically in pairs. Tomb of Minh Mang with two lakes and beautifully decorated architecture, is one of the most majestic and majestic tombs among the tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty kings. The work was recognized as a national monument on April 29, 1997. Source: Thua Thien Hue province electronic information portal
