| The tomb of the Emperor Minh Mang is located in an enclosed hilly area of Cam Khe village, 12 km from the centre of Hue. The construction of the tomb of Minh Mang started in 1840 and was completed in 1843. | |
| Minh Mang tomb is a standard architectural complex consisting of 40 big and small constructions which include palaces, temple, pavilions, etc., designed on symmetric axis along the Dai Hong gate outside to the foot of La Thanh behind the Emperor's tomb. Emperor Minh Mang was the second emperor of the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnam, ruling from 1820 until his death in 1841. He was born on May 25, 1791, in Hue, the capital city of Vietnam at the time. His birth name was Nguyen Phuc Dam, and he was the fourth son of Emperor Gia Long, the founder of the Nguyen dynasty. Minh Mang was known for his strict Confucian policies and his efforts to consolidate and centralize the Vietnamese state. He implemented a series of reforms aimed at improving the administration, economy, and social order of Vietnam. He also undertook a vast building program, constructing palaces, temples, and other public works. Despite his achievements, Minh Mang's reign was marked by several challenges, including rebellions by ethnic minorities in the highlands and tensions with France. In 1833, Minh Mang issued aban on Catholicism and other foreign religions, leading to the persecution of Vietnamese Catholics and missionaries. This policy was largely driven by his desire to assert Vietnamese independence and maintain traditional Confucian values. Minh Mang died on January 20, 1841, at the age of 51, and was succeeded by his son, Emperor Thieu Tri. He is remembered as one of the most important emperors of the Nguyen dynasty and is considered by many Vietnamese to be a symbol of national pride and unity. | |
