In this fifth volume, I will be touring the ancient capitol city of Hue. On the second day, after a heart-breaking visit to Thein Mu Pagoda, I took a wild motorcycle taxi ride to visit the Tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. Despite having more than one hundred wives, he was unable to father a male successor, and spent his life designing a massive tomb and surrounding palaces. Ironically, despite the grandeur of the Tu Duc’s mausoleum, it is rumored that he was actually buried somewhere else in Hue. To protect the covert location, the 200 laborers who buried the king were all beheaded after they returned from the secret route. Tu Duc was undoubtedly a narcissistic tyrant, but he did have good taste in music; as I was privileged to witness a spellbinding performance of traditional folk music from his lakeside pavilion.
