The most majestic of all the tombs in the area I visited in my opinion. Spectacular! I rented a scooter and did a day trip of tombs - the other highlight was Tu Duc.

There are 129 steep steps to reach the mausoleum at the top where you will find great views. This tomb shows a great deal of French influence since Khai Dinh worked closely (some say colluded) with the French and toured France a few years before his death explaining the influence in the designs

I had been told in advance that there are seven emperors' tombs in Hue, and if you only see one, make sure it's Khai Dinh. I think that was good advice. Both the exterior and exterior are spectacular, a unique and elaborate design. Hue is an OK city, but the best attractions are seen via a tour. My friend and I booked an all-day tour, which included a dragon boat, the pagoda, the Citadel and Khai Dinh's tomb, plus one other tomb. It was a smart investment. All were terrific.

There are about 3 sections of stairs that need to be climbed to get to the very top, but it is well worth the climb. Wear comfortable shoes. The architecture of this tomb is so different than a few of the others that we viewed that were in terrible disrepair.

The Tomb is located in Chau Chu mountain near Hue.. It was built for the Emperor Khai Dinh twelfth king of the Nguyen dynasty. Took 11 years to complete, 1920-31.

The tomb's surface area is much smaller than the tombs of his predecessors. This building is more elaborately designed than others and is a rectangular building leaning against Chau Chu Mountain. The side walls are formed by the biggest sculptures of dragons in all of Vietnam. There are 12 stone statues representing bodyguards. The Khai Thanh Palace at the top level features intricately designed glass and porcelain decorations on the walls. It is breathtaking. At the back of the palace is a temple containing the grave, an altar to him as well as a statue.
