Over 1,000 trees have been planted around the tomb of King Gia Long.

On February 6th, the Hue Ancient Citadel Relics Conservation Center organized the launching ceremony of the "Tree Planting Festival in Eternal Gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh" program on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025 at the Gia Long royal tomb area.

Hue city leaders plant trees at the tomb of King Gia Long.

On this occasion, the leaders of Hue City, along with leaders of various departments and staff of the Hue Ancient Citadel Conservation Center, planted more than 1,000 trees of various types in the grounds of King Gia Long's tomb.

These are native shade trees and flowering plants that have been planted in the area opposite the tomb of Empress Thuan Thien Cao Hoang Hau and the pathway leading to the tomb of King Gia Long, suitable for the geology, weather, and landscape of this area.

This activity not only contributes to greening barren land and increasing forest cover, but also helps protect the environmental landscape, enhance biodiversity, and beautify the natural beauty of the historical site area.

Over 1,000 trees have been planted in the grounds of King Gia Long's mausoleum.

In the coming period, the Hue Ancient Citadel Conservation Center will continue to implement a plan to expand the green coverage area in the historical sites by planting native valuable timber species, contributing to the protection of the heritage space and enhancing the landscape value of the protected areas.

Gia Long Mausoleum is a unique architectural work of the Nguyen Dynasty, managed and exploited for tourism by the Hue Ancient Citadel Relics Conservation Center.

The mausoleum complex was built over six years (1814-1820) and comprises several tombs belonging to the royal family of Emperor Gia Long. The entire complex is situated in a pristine, picturesque mountainous area, approximately 20 km west of the center of Hue City, now located in Long Ho Ward, Phu Xuan District (Hue City).

The resting place of the first king who founded the Nguyen Dynasty boasts one of the most auspicious locations among all the Nguyen Dynasty royal tombs. The entire complex comprises 42 mountains and hills of varying sizes, with the prominent Dai Thien Tho mountain guarding the entrance and seven mountains providing a backdrop behind.

This mausoleum complex is the largest of all royal tombs, with a perfect blend of architecture and nature creating a stunning landscape of grandeur, romance, and unspoiled beauty.
