Touring Tombs Today Jan 19

Today was a busy day, I saw three tombs, the Old Citidal and one Pagoda. I have a group of pictures for each to post.
As you can probabbly tell, it rained the whole day hence the misty look.

The Tu Duc Tomb-
A sun house by the water.


The moat. The grounds are very beautiful.


This building contains a stone tablet honoring the king.





They don't know if the remains were actually even burried here.


Flower of the day.

The Minh Mang Tomb-














The Khai Dinh Tomb-












Emperor Khai Dinh.
The Old Citidal-
Going in the main gate.







The King's house was destroyed in the war. They are starting to reconstruct.




Inside each of these doors is a memorial to and an area to worship each of the thirty three Kings.



The Thien Mu Pagoda-




The building where the monks pray.



We travelled back to the city in a large dragon boat. This is one view along the way.
