Overview
The Mac Cuu complex sits on a hill and includes the tomb of Mac Cuu and dozens of other family tombs, with a temple. Mac Cuu was a Chinese-born merchant and official who helped found Ha Tien in the late 17th century, and his family ruled the area in the early 18th century.
The tombs are carved from stone, with detailed lions and guardian figures, and they look over the town. It is a short, quiet stop of 30 to 45 minutes. Visit in the morning, when it is cooler and the light is better.
