  The huge urns
by SirRichard
 
 

These 9 2 meters high metal urns (about 2000 kgs each) were cast in 1835 to symbolise the Nguyen dinasty sovereigns.
They depict nature designs (clouds, sun, moon...) upon ancient (2.000 BC) chinese designs.

They can be found near the The To Mieu Temple, inside the Imperial Enclosure.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
