The second last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. He was a very small sized guy who was very interested in French culture. So his tomb has a mixture of culture. Famous for being the 'puppet' emperor in history texts, what is not really known is that he is also homosexual and vain. In fact, he went to France and requested for replicas of himself to be made. :)
But i think that it is because of these factors, his tomb is the most impressive and has the most architectural value in Hue.



A common sight in all the tomb compounds.
