An Bang Cemetery CITY OF GHOSTS – The most majestic cemetery in Vietnam

If you’ve ever been to Hue, Vietnam, you will undoubtedly be amazed by the vast tombs adorned with gold leaf paintings and exquisite carvings of the Nguyen kings. For generations, the people of Hue have always valued their graves when it comes to departing for the eternal realm, to entrust both their physical and spiritual selves. Those in their twilight years in Hue will consider finding a piece of land, often in a high and prominent location, to erect tombs for their descendants when they depart to the other world. And to “admire” the most majestic cemetery in Hue, I invite you to join me in An Bang village.

Located about 36 km from the city of Hue, along the coast, there is a famous fishing village that has attracted many visitors for years despite not being a tourist destination. An Bang village, part of Vinh An commune, Phu Vang district, is known as the “city of tombs” or the “ghost city of An Bang” with its “super tombs”. My village borders An Bang village, so every time I accompany my father back to our ancestral home, I have the opportunity to pass by this cemetery. Sometimes I stop for a long time to admire the majestic tombs resembling castles, intricately crafted no less than the royal tombs. Wandering through the narrow paths amidst the vast realm of the “others,” I never feel any sense of creepiness or chilliness; instead, I feel amazed and curious.

This place is considered the most luxurious cemetery in Vietnam, with thousands of tombs of various colors and sizes. Some tomb areas are estimated to be worth billions of Vietnamese dong

The construction cost for each tomb ranges from hundreds of millions to billions of Vietnamese dong, with some costing nearly tens of billions. Some tombs are built, only to be demolished several years later to construct larger ones, each new construction surpassing the grandeur of its predecessor. Dense and overlapping, closely linked one after another, the tombs in various colors and shapes sprawl across the sandy hills, making one feel as if stepping into a profound and mysterious land.

While these bridges may not impress you much during the day, at night they become dazzling, with lights shining down onto the river in an incredibly enchanting display. In that space, the Perfume River resembles a sleeping maiden suddenly awakening, revealing all of her lush, delicate beauty.

Taking a dragon boat on the Perfume River to explore famous landmarks?

Taking a dragon boat on the Perfume River in Hue to visit historical sites will be a truly unique experience. Instead of traveling by motorbike or shuttle bus, you can leisurely sit on the boat, glide on the water, and visit the attractions along the river. This is an incredibly enjoyable experience that you should have when visiting Hue. After the boat docks, there will be some free time for tourists to explore according to their preferences.

Enjoying Hue cuisine on a dragon boat on the Perfume River

In the romantic atmosphere of Hue, tourists will have a chance to indulge in the traditional dishes of Hue. Unlike dining services in restaurants or hotels, dining on a dragon boat will be entirely different. You can choose from basic dinner options, royal-style dinners, or even luxurious imperial banquets. All will be complemented by the experience of listening to Hue singing on the Perfume River.

Traditional dishes with strong flavors of ancient Hue court cuisine

Dinner on the dragon boat will consist of specialties from the ancient capital, such as chicken soup, fresh spring rolls, steamed squid, fish in sauce, rice, braised meat, and more, providing you with a delicious meal. For a more upscale experience, there’s the royal-style dinner, featuring fancier dishes like phoenix-shaped spring rolls, lotus leaf-wrapped rice, seafood soup, and steamed cakes.

If you want to fully experience the uniqueness of ancient Hue’s imperial cuisine, you can opt for the royal banquet package for your dinner on the dragon boat. The royal banquet was traditionally reserved for kings, princes, and high-ranking officials of the court. Now, when visiting Hue, any tourist can enjoy these luxurious dishes. The banquet menu includes many dishes that deeply reflect the essence of Hue’s imperial cuisine, such as the nine-dish appetizer, dragon boat shrimp, royal grilled chicken, royal rice, moon-viewing shrimp, and Hue-style dessert.

Hue singing on the Perfume River

This is perhaps the most remarkable activity during the entire journey on the dragon boat on the Perfume River in Hue. Hue singing is a traditional cultural feature of the ancient land, combining two musical genres: folk music and Hue court music. The system of Hue singing is extremely diverse, consisting of about 60 pieces including vocal music and instrumental music, with two main styles: the Northern style and the Southern style. While the Northern style features cheerful melodies, the Southern style conveys emotions of sadness, longing, and nostalgia.

The Hue singing program includes traditional Hue folk songs and distinctive modern Hue music. Drifting along the Perfume River, listening to the deep, heartfelt tunes, infused with a touch of sweetness, promises to captivate the hearts of any visitor.

Everything about Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village

Paper Flower Craft

The craft of making paper flowers originated from the folk worship of the people in the ancient capital of Hue. Due to the challenging climate conditions, intense sunlight, and heavy rainstorms, fresh flowers in Hue could not maintain their original beauty.

As a result, the people of Thanh Tien Village creatively invented paper flowers for worship and decoration during the Tet festival, gradually turning it into the renowned Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village, a cultural and spiritual essence of the entire population of Hue every spring.

Explore Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village

The materials needed to create paper flowers in Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village are not hard to find. With just bamboo and rattan, the artisans of Thanh Tien Village can unleash their creativity. They replicate images of various natural flowers such as trumpet flowers, daisies, wallflowers, lotus flowers, wild sunflowers, etc., with such precision and realism that, from a distance, it’s hard to distinguish between real and paper flowers.

While usually only 1 or 2 people work on paper flowers on regular days, on full moon days and Tet holidays, artisans in the village mobilize their relatives and even hire additional help to collectively make paper flowers. Almost everyone in the village, including children, is skilled in the steps to create the distinctive Thanh Tien paper flowers.

The process of making paper flowers is entirely manual and requires extensive preparation, often starting months in advance. Only with considerable effort can a beautiful and lifelike masterpiece be completed. Bamboo must be selected for its flexibility, split into small sections, and then rounded to create branches or flower stems. The most crucial step is choosing durable paper and natural dye colors to ensure freshness, as artificial colors or harmful chemicals are not used.

The final steps involve meticulous cutting, trimming, creating folds for the flowers to appear lively and vibrant, similar to real flowers. Then, adhesive glue is used to attach the flowers to the stems. The most challenging aspect is creating the veining for lotus petals, requiring a great deal of skill and experience from the artisans. Each step demands precision, dedication, and diligence, allowing an artisan to produce only 15 to 20 flowers at most in a day. Despite the meticulous work, the cost of Thanh Tien paper flowers is quite affordable, ranging from 5,000 VND to 7,000 VND per pair (for simple flowers like roses, daisies, orchids) and 20,000 VND per flower (for more complex flowers like lotus). This makes it possible for you to purchase these flowers as memorable souvenirs.

Lotus paper flowers are the most famous product in Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village
The Thanh Tien Paper Flowers have become an indispensable cultural tradition during the springtime in the ancient capital of Hue
The people of Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village bring the paper flowers to sell in both rural markets and the city
Just seeing Thanh Tien Paper Flowers is enough to feel the arrival of spring

It would undoubtedly be wonderful if we could set foot in Hue at least once to have the opportunity to visit, enriching our understanding of this ancient, tranquil, and charming land.

Lang Co Bay is situated in the town of Lang Co, Phu Loc district, Thua Thien Hue province, approximately 30km south of Da Nang, about 70km north of the Hue city center, and close to National Highway 1A, near the Hai Van Pass area. It is considered the fairyland of King Khai Dinh, the 12th emperor of the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnamese history, who ruled from 1916 to 1925 during the French colonial period, reigning for almost 10 years before passing away at the age of 40.

Lang Co Bay was recognized as the most beautiful beach in the world in 2009. Consequently, the number of tourists visiting from around the world each year is immeasurable. Typically, when exploring Lang Co, tourists have the opportunity to discover many other famous landmarks. Since Lang Co Bay is located amidst three interesting exploration sites, namely the World Cultural Heritage Conservation Center of Hue, My Son Sanctuary, and Hoi An Ancient Town, many tourists, when visiting Hue, always allocate time in their itineraries to travel from Hue to Lang Co during their leisure days.

What Makes Lang Co Special for Exploration

History of Princess Huyen Tran

According to historical records, Princess Huyen Tran (1287) was the beloved daughter of King Tran Nhan Tong and Queen Kham Tu. She was the one who set aside personal desires, embarked on a marriage of political convenience, and played a pivotal role in fostering harmony while expanding our nation’s territories to the south. She gave birth to the land of Thuan Hoa – Phu Xuan – Thua Thien Hue.

The place of worship for Princess Huyen Tran.

To honor her contributions in expanding the nation’s borders, the people of Thua Thien – Hue had already established a temple in the southern part of Hue in previous centuries. However, due to the changes in history and the ravages of prolonged warfare, the temple was completely destroyed.

In early 2006, the Huyen Tran Cultural Center was inaugurated, commemorating the 700th anniversary of the formation of the Thuan Hoa – Phu Xuan land, on March 26, 2007. This center stands as a tribute to Princess Huyen Tran and her enduring legacy.

As you approach the center, you’ll first see four imposing pillars with stone elephants at their bases. Following that, you’ll encounter three spacious courtyards paved with the famous Bat Trang ceramic tiles, complete with a pond and a small bridge resembling the Trung Dao Bridge over the Thái Dịch Lake in front of the Thai Hoa Palace within the Hue Imperial City. Beyond that lies the main entrance area and the inner sanctum where Princess Huyen Tran is worshipped. All these structures are aligned along a central axis, giving a solemn appearance.

In the temple, there is a statue that depicts Princess Huyen Tran

Inside the temple, there is a bronze statue that depicts Princess Huyen Tran sitting on a pedestal. This statue, standing at 2.37 meters tall and weighing 700 kilograms, was meticulously crafted by renowned artisans from the Duc Ward in Hue City. In the rear hall of the temple, there is an altar dedicated to Doan Nhu Hai, a figure believed to have composed a eulogy to absolve King Tran Anh Tong from the anger of the Celestial Emperor. He was also the first Vietnamese official appointed by the king to govern the two regions of Cochin China and Red River Delta when they were incorporated into Dai Viet from Chiem Thanh.

The Peace Bell is intricate in design with a noble significance

Within the premises of the Huyen Tran Cultural Center, you can find various other architectural structures. One of these is the Peace Bell Tower, which stands at a height of 7 meters and is situated atop Ngu Phong Mountain. It includes a bell, the Peace Bell, weighing 1.6 tons and measuring 2.16 meters in height, meticulously crafted by artisans from the Duc Ward. The sound of the bell resonates, bringing moments of serenity and peace to those who hear it. Along the path leading to the Peace Bell Tower, you’ll come across a colossal statue of Maitreya Buddha, perpetually adorned with a radiant smile.

Additionally, in remembrance of the founding father of the Truc Lam Zen school, King Tran Nhan Tong, the Huyen Tran Cultural Center has undertaken to complete a construction project, aiming to make it a national destination for spiritual and Zen tourism. This project also encompasses various other structures like the Calligraphy House, the Orchid House, the Meditation Hall, and the Library, where primarily historical documents related to King Tran Nhan Tong, Princess Huyen Tran, and other heroic figures throughout the Tran dynasty are conserved, along with the history of Hue’s culture and architectural heritage, and the history of Champa’s culture.

Furthermore, it’s visible in the vibrant embroidery and murals adorning the walls of various buildings, including even the outdoor plant pots.
