This tomb is really nice and just a short trip by taxi (10km) from the city. The statues look amazing and the entire place is well maintained. Since you can visit this location in max one hour a great place even with kids.

We drove our bikes early morning as wanted to miss the crowd. Was told the best of all the tombs. There are plenty of steps to climb. The ceiling of the palace is decorated with nine intricate dragons. The rear room of the palace is home to a temple containing Khải Định's grave, an altar to him as well as a statue of his likeness, cast in Marseilles.
This is a good place. Nice buildings and some nice artifacts. One of the last royal rulers of Vietnam and the french influence is apparent. These are some great figures in the courtyard. The building are very aged and blackish on the outside.
