Tomb of Khai Dinh

Huế, Vietnam

4.5 (0)

Overview

Royal tomb of the Nguyễn dynasty in Vietnam. It sits on the central coast, where the rains come in autumn rather than summer.

Why visit: The Nguyen emperors' tombs outside Hue — landscaped complexes of pavilions, lakes and courtyards, each built to its occupant's taste.

Things to do

›Pick two or three tombs rather than all of them — they are spread out
›Hire a driver or scooter for the day; they are not walkable from each other
›Go early, when the courtyards are empty and cool
›Buy the combined Hue ticket if visiting the citadel too
