Hue, Vietnam | The gilded tomb of a hated emperor

📍Khai Dinh Imperial Tomb
Who would believe that this glittering gold is a tomb?!

Khai Dinh Imperial Tomb is the tomb of an emperor from the Nguyen dynasty.

It is a famous tourist spot in Hue and is also registered as a World Heritage Site.

Actually, this emperor was quite disliked in Vietnam at the time...

It is said that he made them pay a lot of taxes to build this tomb.

Also, the fact that he was pro-French in Vietnam under French rule was a factor in his dislike due to the historical background.

However, ironically,
it is the only building in the world that combines French and Chinese elements, and it is a World Heritage Site.

It is true that other imperial tombs have a strong Chinese element, but this one has a Western element and is quite interesting.

There are several other imperial tombs in the area, and tourist spots are scattered around, so it would be interesting to compare them.

It is also far from the city center, such as Hue Imperial Palace, so it is convenient to charter a taxi for sightseeing.

For solo travelers, we also recommend motorbike taxis.

There are also discounted tickets that include other attractions, so please purchase according to your plans 😉

Location: Khải Định, Thủy Bằng, Hương Thủy, Thừa Thiên Huế 530000
