Le Van Duyet (1764–1832) was a distinguished general and high-ranking mandarin of the Nguyen Dynasty. He twice served as Governor-General of Gia Dinh Citadel, a position of particular strategic importance in the administration, defense and development of the southern territories. During his tenure, he implemented a range of practical policies aimed at stabilizing political conditions, advancing socio-economic development, opening up the southern frontier and strengthening public order and security thereby laying the foundation for a period of sustained prosperity. Under his leadership, Gia Dinh emerged as a dynamic and thriving region, with marked improvements in the living standards of its people, contributing to the long-term flourishing of Southern Vietnam. Beyond his recognized military and administrative achievements, Le Van Duyet was deeply respected by the populace for his people-centered approach, integrity, and pragmatic, compassionate governance. He upheld cultural and religious diversity among the Southern population, helping to shape the open and inclusive identity that later characterized the Gia Dinh – Saigon region. For these reasons, following his passing, the people erected a mausoleum in his honor, venerating him as a symbol of moral integrity and enduring contribution to the Southern region.
