Khai Dinh was reputed to be a pawn of the colonial French – and he taxed his people heavily to finance the building of the elaborate edifice.Very nice iron-works art around
the tomb area.

This is the grandest of the Royal Tombs around Hue. It was for the final king (before the one who abdicated in WWII). It is quite steep on many levels, so be prepared for steps. Beautiful decoration.

This was one of the three tombs we did with our guide.
Nine kilometres from Hue. Again steep steps leading up to the tomb and lovely views out over the valley.
The tomb was built for the 12th King of the Nguyen Dynasty.
He was not a popular emperor, he actually increased taxes by 30% to pay for his tomb, which was deeply influenced by the French and their style of architecture.
It's very opulent with a lot of ceramic mosaics.

The tomb site was an interesting mix of Vietnamese and European design. Very grand and lavish. Worth a visit.

Really liked the architecture in this palace. Great for pictures and understanding of some brief history of the imperial rule. Went without a guide as there were english sign boards and it's not a big place so no chance of getting lost.

We took a cab from Hue to see this & the Tomb of Minh Mang (cab was 300D one way & we got a private boat back ($20).
Lots to see here, but the most modern Tomb so lots of concrete used in construction & less "authentic" than the others (IMHO).
100D entry fee, & worth doing as part of a tour of tombs, but not on its own.
