Minh Mang was the ruling king of Vietnam from 1820 to 1841. In 1826, the King ordered the search for a good site to build his tomb and found the place only in 1840.
Travel Guide to Minh Mang Tomb, Hue
The construction of the tomb had been underway for a few months when Minh Mang died and the successor, King Thieu Tri continued the work based on the design chosen by his father. The construction of Minh Mang's tomb was done only in 1843, 2 years after the king died.
The whole architecture of Minh Mang's tomb is like a reclining person resting the head on the mountain stretching the legs relaxingly to the Perfume River. The different buildings and monuments of Minh Mang's tomb are balanced on an axis called The Sacred Path which is 700m long.
