Gia Long was the first king of the Nguyen Dynasty. His tomb area is located on the outskirts of Hue city, and is the No. 1 Linh Thien tomb of the Nguyen Kings.
When I arrived at Gia Long Mausoleum, I immediately felt the quiet and quiet space of this place. With yellow sunshine shone through the ancient pine rows, fresh air and the gentle sound of the wind blowing through the foliage, everything is like dispeling the noise of modern life. Gia Long Mausoleum is not merely a historical monument, but also a place to preserve the memories and thoughts of a ups and downs of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Known as Thien Tho Lang, this tomb is the resting place of King Gia Long - the first king of the Nguyen Dynasty. When I set foot in the mausoleum gate, I had a feeling like entering a vivid picture, this place brought me very special emotions. The large tomb complex with unique architecture makes me surprised. Each detail, every pattern on the architectural works has a cultural and historical value, creating a harmonious and elegant overall picture.
When walking around the mausoleum, I had the opportunity to admire the two tombs of King Gia Long and Queen Tong Thi Lan placed next to each other. Emotions now hard to describe. It is not only the respect for the deceased, but also sympathy for a faithful love, iron lipstick that has been kept over the years. The image of the two tombs together shows their attachment, from the days together to overcome the storm until they retire. This makes me more respectful of the good values of love.
What I like the most when visiting the tomb is the surrounding natural space. The green lotus ponds, the soaring pine trees, all create a beautiful picture, harmonious between nature and architecture. The steam of the Perfume River passes, blending with the fragrance of flowers and flowers, making the space here more poetic than ever. Facing this scenery, I could not help but think about what happened in the past, about the image of King Gia Long and the wars he had experienced to build the Nguyen Dynasty.
Besides looking at the beautiful scenery, I did not forget to learn more about valuable historical knowledge. Each step here takes me back to the past, until the time when King Gia Long reunited the country, creating the Nguyen Dynasty. History is not only dry numbers, but also the story of the sacrifices, striving and great dreams of a king. Standing at the place where he rested, the impression of a heroic era, made me feel more proud and appreciate about my homeland.
The time to visit Gia Long Mausoleum also has a great influence on his emotions. I chose to come here in the afternoon, when the golden sunlight is no longer harsh, but leaving warm rays of light. The scene now becomes romantic, blending the green of the trees and the yellow of the Japanese light, creating beautiful frames. I could not help but capture these moments, to retain intense emotions when standing between historical and beautiful nature.
Inside the mausoleum also has Minh Thanh Dien Thanh, which gives himself a deep feeling about solemnity. Here, I feel the respect for King Gia Long and Queen. Despite many years of hardship, every memorant, each picture retains its beauty. That proves the respect of the people for their monarch.
Besides history and architecture, I can not ignore food when visiting Gia Long Mausoleum. Hue is famous for its delicious specialties such as beef noodles, mussels or cakes. To come to Hue to visit the most economical and comfortable, you should book a ticket in front of Hue Limousine Da Nang or if it comes from Hoi An, you can book Limousine Hoi An Hue right on the system of Limousine Hue Company.
