Tomb of Le Van Duyet is a Vietnamese tomb located in the bustling Bình Thạnh District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Constructed after the marshal’s death in 1830, this religious complex provides an attractive place of quiet, in the middle of an otherwise chaotic neighborhood.

• With an area of 18,500 meters square, the tomb is one of the most impressive ancient construction that still maintains its archaic beauty until today. The tomb’s design bears the signature of the Nguyen dynasty’s architecture – from the intricate wood and stone engraving’s to the doors and gates.

• During the Tet festivities, thousands of Vietnamese and Chinese pilgrims visit the temple for their horoscopes. The temple is most crowded on the anniversary of Le Van Duyet’s death, which falls on the 30th day of the seventh lunar month.

Don’t miss out on this Saigon’s ancient tomb when you visit Saigon for a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture and history.
