Khai Dinh tomb is one of the famous tombs in Hue. If you are into History of Dynasty in Vietnam, shoud not miss it! Beautiful and Ancient!
We did this tour as part of a larger tour, it was an excellent day, the tour was fun and enjoyable, the tomb has easy access and is quite interesting architecturally.
looks as if it was hundreds of years old, but was in fact only built in the 1920s by the 12th emperor of the nguyen dynasty. the steep stairs will automatically make you bow - which was the intention of the emperor. theres many more little details in the building that should make him bigger in the eyes of the visitor - so make sure you go there with a good guide who can really show you all the details.
def worth a visit!
This is the tomb of the 12th emperor of Vietnam. The place is small but the tomb is very elaborate with ceramic interiors. Entrance fee is 100k vnd but we paid via the combi ticket (360k vnd) which allow us to visit citadel and the tombs. Out of the tombs, I like this tomb the most as the interior are really pretty with the detailed ceramic interiors. If you only have time for 1 tomb, go for this tomb if you like dazzling detailed ceramic interior and go for Min Mang Tomb if you like a bigger and massive tomb.
As it is rather small, you can finish it in less than 1 hour.
(Worth 3.5 out of 5 stars)
this tomb is incredible, you can see the obvious wealth this ruler had. From the statues, to the building to the imposing stairs as you enter. Inside is beautifully adorned as well
