About this audio guide
This guide to the Tomb of Duc Duc in Hue centers on three generations of the Nguyen Dynasty sharing one unusually plain burial ground: an heir crowned in eighteen eighty-three, deposed within days, and the son and grandson who later ruled as Thanh Thai and Duy Tan, both at odds with French colonial power. As you walk the grounds, compare this tomb to the grander ones elsewhere along the Perfume River.
