Vietnam - Royal Tomb of Emperor Kaidin

I highly recommend taking a tour in Da Nang and then taking a tour to Hue for a day! It's a bit far, but it'll be a fulfilling trip! After - Hue Imperial Palace, Emperor Khai Dinh's Tomb, Thien Mu Pagoda, and King Minh Mang's Tomb were all great things for my whole family! Hue is the equivalent of Gyeongju in Korea, but it's said to be the old capital of Vietnam. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there are many relics and things to see. If I had time, I thought it would be nice to spend a night and look around slowly. Emperor Khai Dinh's Tomb - This is a royal tomb that boasts a unique beauty, combining European and Asian, ancient and modern architectural styles. It was built with concrete, but maybe that's why it's turned black...? This place boasts a grand and unique color from the entrance building. It's the tomb of the 12th emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Khai Dinh (1916-1925), and it was built over 11 years from 1920 to 1931. Compared to other imperial tombs, it is small in size, but its unique and beautiful appearance, which combines European and Asian, ancient and modern architectural styles, is particularly noteworthy. When you climb the stairs with the largest dragon carved on both sides of Vietnam, you enter a small palace, with two rows of stone statues of elephants, horses, military officers and civil servants facing each other. At the end of the tomb are pointed obelisks to show the stability and majesty of the Nguyen Dynasty, and in the center is a monument to Emperor Bao Dai, who recorded the merits of his father Emperor Khai Dinh. Emperor Khai Dinh ruled from 1916 to 1925, the latter half of the Nguyen Dynasty. This tomb is a Western-style concrete structure that was started in 1920 and completed in 1931. It is characterized by the many European architectural styles that were influenced by French colonial rule. The Gothic-style buildings and spires made of stone and concrete look like European cathedrals, and even the faces of the stone statues guarding the emperor have Western faces. The main building, the Gyesongjeon, where the emperor's tomb is located, has a bronze and gold-plated life-size statue of Emperor Khai Dinh, and the emperor's remains are said to be located 18 meters underground under the statue. The walls and ceilings of the Gyesongjeon are decorated with porcelain and glass, like Western stained glass, in a splendid and dazzling way. ▪️Khai Dinh Tomb ▫️Vietnam 530,000 xã Thuy Bằng, Huyện Hương Thuỷ Huế Thua Thien-Hue Province ▫️Operating hours: 07:00~17:30 ▫️There is a Korean explanation app at the entrance.
