Tomb of Gia Long, Royal tomb at Imperial City of Huế, Vietnam.
The tomb complex spans across 42 mountains and hills, featuring temples, pavilions, and stone sculptures along a ceremonial pathway leading to burial chambers.
Emperor Gia Long, who established the Nguyen Dynasty and unified Vietnam, commissioned the construction of this burial site in 1814 as his final resting place.
The architecture combines Vietnamese traditions with Confucian principles through stone guardians, ceremonial courtyards, and decorative elements representing imperial power.
Visitors can reach the tomb by taking a boat journey on the Perfume River or driving 16 kilometers from Huế to Kim Ngoc Wharf.
The tomb complex includes the Honor Courtyard, Sacrificial Hall, and parallel coal-black roof steles representing the emperor and his wife.
