Discover one of Hue's most unique and impressive royal tombs, the Tomb of Khai Dinh. Built between 1920 and 1931 for the 12th Nguyen Emperor, this tomb stands out for its elaborate design, blending Vietnamese and European architectural styles. Unlike other Hue tombs spread out horizontally, Khai Dinh's tomb is a steep, monumental structure built into a hillside.

Climb the dragon-adorned staircases to reach the main courtyard with its honour guard of stone mandarins, horses, and elephants. The interior of the Thien Dinh Palace is breathtaking, featuring intricate mosaics made from glass and porcelain and a life-sized bronze statue of the emperor. It's a must-visit Hue imperial site.
