Geocache Description:


** It would be helpful if a visiting cacher could pop in a new log for other travellers to keep signing. 

The place: Mausoleum of Emperor Tu Duc

Tomb of Tự Đức (VietnameseLăng Tự Đức), officially Khiêm Mausoleum (Khiêm LăngHán tự), is located in HuếVietnam. It is built for the Nguyễn Emperor Tự Đức and took three years to build from 1864–1867. 

The mausoleum is open from 7am to 5:30pm daily, with a small enterance fee. 

The most interesting fact that I learned whilst here, is that this tomb is not where Tu Duc was buried. The resting location (with his tresures)  is secret and is still not known to the public today. To keep it secret from grave robbers, all 200 servants who buried Tu Duc were beheaded.

The cache: a small container in the rock wall. Room for small TB's. Stealth will be required. 

A spoiler photo is included on the page to ensure it is replaced as found and remains hidden for future geocachers to enjoy as they travel incredible Vietnam.
