Hue's imperial tombs and the road to Hoi An

  

Hue is not only the former imperial city but a burial ground for the emperors, who were building the palaces around the city to live in first and to be used as tombs later, when they die. The three most recommended ones are: Tomb of Tu Duc, Tomb of Minh Mang and Tomb of Khai Dinh, also the Thien Mu Pagoda is worth a visit.
