Royal Tombs in Vietnam

Quite a site and a sight! Be prepared to climb if you want to get to the top where the tomb is. I counted the steps and if I didn't miscalculate***there were a total of 127 over three sets of stairs.

Tombs for Puppets The 19th and 20th century imperial tombs near Hue were for the succession of puppet kings and emperors the French installed in those years of their "protectorate." Not France's proudest moment.

Opulent palace This palace stands above many others due to the incredible mosaics and other finishings, as well as a really interesting story associated with the king.
