When coming to Hue, you cannot miss Trang Tien Bridge; walking under the bridge at night, looking at the bridge from afar, shining with constantly changing colours.

Where should I go in Hue?

Dục Đức Tomb is a good option if you don't want to travel too far because it's inside the city limits. Duc Duc ruled for just three days before being deposed and put to death in questionable circumstances. Duc Duc tomb holds a somber place in Vietnam's history, as Dục Đức, who ruled for only three days, was deposed and later died under suspicious circumstances. Unlike the grander tombs of other emperors, Dục Đức's final resting place is more modest, reflecting the tragic and brief nature of his reign. Duc Duc tomb also houses the remains of his son and grandson, offering a poignant glimpse into the turbulent times of the Nguyen Dynasty. It's a site rich in history and intrigue.
