Đồng Khánh died at 25. The hall began as Truy Tư, the temple he started for his father in the second month of 1888, and it was renamed Ngưng Hy after he died. The burial is on Hộ Thuận Sơn, 30 metres west of the hall. Khải Định rebuilt the tomb buildings from August 1916, and the hall with its side houses continued to 1923.
An adult ticket is 100,000 VND, and children under 13 enter free. It is a short stop if you are already at Tu Duc.
