As a Vietnamese living in Saigon, have many times for traveling to Hue city but this is my first time to visit Khai Dinh tomb. I was so surprised with the design, interiors of this place and cannot believed this was constructed manually without any support of machines or modern technical.

Pls come to this place to see how beautiful Vietnam tourist attractions are.

Many loves from Southern people.

This tomb is characteristic for the French influenced architecture and ornaments. Facades, ceilings, canopy, everything is elaborately decorated. This is because the emperor studied in France and loved the culture. A dragon is painted on the ceiling. We see the influences by Chinese as well. We can see here the Vietnamese history and culture influenced by France and China. I visited here after Tu Duc and saw the difference from there clearly. It’s so beautiful and it got crowded by people taking pictures.
The stairs to the tomb are steep but you’ll forget it once you see the beautiful inside.

the tomb built for the twelfth Emperor of the Nguyen dynasty, vietnam.It features a blend of vietnamese architecture with western styles.i visited this place on 6 September, that time, i rented a car with driver for one day trip, this place is the second stop. i stepped in Tam Quan Gate first. it is typical of a traditional entrance in ancient Vietnamese architecture. the gate’s pillars are Indian style,it is an example of the mixture of Vietnamese and Indian cultures. after that,i reached Nghi Mon Area and Bai Dinh Yard. there are many statues of royals, warriors, horses, and elephants.i took some pics with them. then,i headed to Thien Dinh palace, this place, with the ceiling and walls decorated with murals of the Four Seasons, Eight Precious Objects and the Eight Immortals. Below, there is a gilt bronze statue of the King Khai Dinh. after visiting,i bought a key chain of imperial jade seal as a gift.
