Emperor Thiệu Trị: Emperor Thiệu Trị was as ardently conservative as his father was, and there are obvious parallels between the two men's tombs. 
Emperor Dục Đức: The least impressive of all the royal tombs, the tomb of Emperor Dục Đức is located inside the city limits and is an excellent choice if you don't want to travel too far. 
Emperor Đồng Khánh: The tomb of Emperor Đồng Khánh is beautifully preserved and situated on a peaceful hill overlooking the beautiful surroundings.
