Hoa Khiem Temple by SirRichard
Tu Duc emperor built here a summer residence, amid frangipani trees and pines. It included a lake with an artificial island in which he used to hunt the animals that his servants previously brought there. There is an embankment too at the lake.Then there is the Residence, several pavillions, and the tombs, one for him, one for his son.
Inside the main Pavillion you can visit the Reception Hall, in the Hoa Khiem Temple. Tu Duc used this temple as a palace. There are here many furnitures, mirrors, jars, and other personal items. In the pic you can see the 2 thrones, the smallest being the Emperor one: he was only 153 cms high!
