This is probably on the must-see list when visiting Hue. The tomb is located on a very nice property, although visitors should be warned that it is quite large - there was far more walking involved than I had expected - I would have chosen a different time of day to visit had I known as it was bloody hot!

On the day we visited it seems we were the only tourists. A movie was being shot with a large film crew and it was easy to see why. This is a stunning complex and having seen kyoto and Angkor Wat, feel this has much to show the visitor. Be careful their is a local couple who have linked Google maps to their home as the entry. Check your entrance as it's not via a private house despite what the sign says

We were recommended this sight by our taxi driver and what a lovely place to explore.
It was the best preserved tomb we have been to, beautiful scenery and well worth a visit. We were not disappointed, we spent two hours exploring.

What made this visit to a royal tomb so interesting was the elongated layout of the site and the fact that it is surrounded by water. Do some research and find a photo taken from above. It's pretty cool.

Will find Minh Mang just the sort of thing they like. French colonial puppet's tomb. Nicely landscaped though.

This tomb is that of Minh Mang, the # 2 emporer with 142 children and many wives. The surroundings and gardens are delightful.

This was the first of the three tombs that we visited with our private driver on our historical tour around Hue. Beautiful gardens and interesting buildings, you work your way from the entrance through to the final resting place. We didn’t hire an audio guide but felt there was sufficient explanation, in English, to satisfy us. Easy to spend a couple of hours here.

I really enjoyed the history of this emperor and his tomb. A very peaceful setting full of history and symmetry. I would recommend this tomb as a must do when in Hue

HI we have limited time in Vietnam and we want to spend more time in Hoi An just wondering it is worth visiting Hue instead.

Hi Roaieana, I suggest you stay 1 - 2 nite in Hue, it has many place to see such as royal tombs (Khai Dinh, Minh Mang, Tu Duc mausoleum), imperial city, Thanh Toan bridge & Thanh Thuy village or take a Dragon boat trip on Perfume river, or go to Thanh Tien village - making paper flower village.
Further more, I should go Hue via Hai Van pass - it's really nice

Hi Kelley! Thanks for the review. About how many hours would allot for all the places that you visited in your post? The reason why I ask is, I would be coming from Hoi An that morning, arriving in Hue at about 9 am or so.

I'd allow about 90 min of Minh Mang but a quick walk through could be done in under an hour

Hi I am currently in Hue with my family and the boat tour that includes tomb of Minh Mang sounds great. Which boat tour, can you remember the name? Thanks

Hola, Que tal. Perdón la molestia. Pero quisiera saber cuales son los requisitos para alquilar una Moto. Generalmente hablando, en el sudeste asiático, se requiere dejar el pasaporte? Te retienen algún documento? En tal caso, esto es seguro?? Gracias de antemano por su respuesta.
Saludos desde Argentina.

Estimado Pablo: No creo que tengas problema en alquilar una moto en el mismo hotel o en un negocio que se dedique a eso.- Con la tarjeta que el hotel te da como alojado ahí es suficiente.- No te pierdas esta tumba, es lo mejor de Hue, aunque hay dos más pero no mejores.- Quiero señalarte algo : Los vietnamitas son gente muy decente, que cumplen su palabra y no desconfían de los extranjeros.- NO DEJES A NADIE EL PASAPORTE EN NINGUN LUGAR.-Además, si estás en Hue, la parte central de Vietnam no podrías robarte nada y ellos lo saben , las distancias se cubren solo en avión.- Espero haberte sido útil y no dudes en consultar sobre Camboya y Myammar si te hace falta.- Cordialmnte: Isabella

We would like to visit the tombs around Hue without an official guide. Has anyone else done this and what was your experience? We are thinking of getting taxis and just reading up on the sights before we visits. We won't necessarily visit all the sights.

Hey, we did this by renting a scooter from our hotel for 100,000 dong. The alternative was a private car for 500,000 that would take you wherever you wanted to go and wait for you. We were told often that there are two main tombs to see Minh Mang and Kai Den (spelling horribly wrong I think) which will take up the best part of an afternoon if you are driving yourself. To find the tombs we used an app called maps.me, essentially it doesn't need wifi to work and uses gps to guide you like google maps. We just downloaded the Vietnam map before setting off. If you get to a tomb and suddenly wish to know more you can rent a guide there but tbh we enjoyed walking the grounds which were spectacular. If you have any more questions just let me know!

Is 1 day in Hue enough?
Our tour is suggesting a 1/2 day tour in Hue, then heading on a cruise down the Perfume River and on to Hoi An. This seems rushed to me.

An entire day is needed to do justice to this beautiful town. 2 days would be even better, if you can spare the time.
you can see all the tombs, do the citadel at a decent pace and eat in all those fab eateries around town
