This is Humayun's Tomb located in New Delhi, India. I jokingly say it might be the most beautiful tomb in the world.
Humayun's Tomb was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1993. This tomb is the resting place of the 16th-century Mughal Emperor Humayun and his consort, showcasing a blend of Islamic and Indian architectural styles. In fact, the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was modeled after Humayun's Tomb.
Humayun's Tomb is quite serene and not very crowded. It might be a good spot for an afternoon stroll. The entrance fee for locals is very cheap (only a few dozen rupees), but it's relatively expensive for foreigners, 600 INR (about 240 TWD). However, such a beautiful place is still quite worth it. Foreign tourists are also very rare here.
Since the tomb is primarily built with red sandstone, visiting at dusk is particularly beautiful as the sunlight casts a lovely glow, making it a great spot for taking Instagram-worthy photos. If you want to avoid crowded spots like the Red Fort or Jama Masjid, I highly recommend Humayun's Tomb.
