HHue is a city with a long history and culture and is definitely worth a visit. However, few people know about An Bang Cemetery (Nghĩa Trang An Bắng in Vietnamese), which is also known as the City of Ghosts.
Named "City of Ghosts" by the locals, the cemetery was created because many inhabitants of An Bang emigrated to Europe and the USA after the reunification of Vietnam in 1975. From here, they sent money back to their relatives who had stayed behind, making An Bang one of the richest villages in Vietnam.
The cemetery with its colorful structures on the white sand stretches over a length of 3 kilometers.
From Buddhist-style temples to Gothic tombs with Romanesque columns. Everything is possible here.
Remarkably, many of the tombs in An Bang are duplicates of Nguyen Kings-tombs and the royal citadel of Hue.
The last time we visited An Bang Cemetery, no one was there. The cemetery was empty and we were able to explore and admire it undisturbed.
