Tomb of Northern Palace Empress Lê Ngọc Hân

The tomb of Northern Palace Empress Lê Ngọc Hân is also called “Di Lăng” because legend has it that Lady Chiêu nghi Nguyễn Thị Huyền, wife of King Lê Hiển Tông, was widowed at the age of thirty-five, returned to Phù Ninh village, and lived at Thiết Lâm residence. Pitying her daughter and two grandchildren who died young in a distant place, she hired people to go to Phú Xuân to bring the remains of Ngọc Hân and her two children back to the village. On June 28, 1804, the remains of Ngọc Hân and her two children were brought to Ái Mộ wharf (Gia Lâm, Hanoi), then transferred to Thiết Lâm residence and buried at Cây Đại field (or Đầu Voi field) at the beginning of Phù Ninh village.
