This is a nice place to relax, read books or picnic. It was just restored so to me, it is not beautiful as Minh Mang tomb. You need to go with a tour guide to know more about this royal tomb. But like i said, a great place for peace and picnic.

Rented a moped in Hue to get to this location. Very easy ride even in the rain. This was one of the locations that our hotel recommended and it was fantastic. Beautiful stone carvings here.

This is one of the most interesting sites I've visited in Hue, and actually found this tomb more fascinating than the Palace and Citadel. There's a unique style and architecture to this place that really testifies to how much the French had entwined themselves into Vietnamese life. French culture appears not so much fused as forced upon Vietnam's extent, ancient culture. The setting for the tomb is remarkable, absolutely picturesque.

Great place if you like historical visits

To me it's one of the historical sites in Huế that is a must-see. The whole complex is just incredible. More specifically the room where the tomb of Emperor Khải Định is located. It's impressive. I also find the ceramic walls a marvel of craftsmanship. There is an interesting contrast between the outside, very black, and the inside very colourful and rich. A real must-see !

Stunning mausoleum that is beautifully decorated. I saw all those stairs and thought, do I really need to climb to the top? Did I mention how hot it was?!? Well, we did and it was worth it. Wear a hat, bring an umbrella, and drink plenty of water. But climb to the top of the stairs to visit this incredible mausoleum.

Our favorite location in Hue, and what a stunning location it is. The dragon carvings on the stairs are exquisite, with such careful attention to detail, and offer a wonderful view from the top when you ascend them to the tomb when you arrive. In addition to the soldiers, there are also horses and elephants guarding the tomb on either side, which is something we really liked. With the most magnificent mosaics all throughout, the tomb interior is just stunning. A truly amazing location that is well worth a trip.

Very quiet when we visited in the late afternoon. The Mausoleum isn't big, but it is beautiful. Buy the combo ticket with the Imperial City visit for best value. You can use your combo ticket over multiple days. We parked our motorbike across the entrance and there was no one collecting parking fees, which was refreshing.

I visited the tomb during 1-4 May reunification holiday, yet was lucky that there was not too many people. Wear sensible shoes snd for those with bad knees, be prepared to climb up steep, narrow and high steps before you reach the tomb. Also, scary walking down. I am glad I did it though. The tomb is totally mesmerising and beautiful. Not much emotion has been included to make out whether King Khai Dinh was loved and admired during his reign. Do you spend so much effort and pour money into building a flawless tomb for a king? The mosaic artwork, porcelain and bronze items are works of masters. I overheard one of the tour guides mention that the ceiling artwork is the original and not at all bern restored or touched up. How? After all these years!! ❤️😍😍❤️ Oh! The view from the top is excellent too.

Wow it was a fantastic experience. Hue, is the most imperial city in Vietnam. Take a tour is the best way to know the city. All was amazing! I would like to return…

Impressive tomb and view. The outside is more beautiful than the inside, you'll appreciate the statues of soldiers, monks and elephants. Note that there are some stairs, could be slippery if it rained and the place isn't very friendly if you have motion difficulties. Make sure you have fresh water with you all the time. Worth spending 30 minutes.

This is the best tomb in Hue in my opinion. The place is not so big but the landscape, the architecture, the design and the story of this tomb is very interesting. Be careful of the weather and the sunburn you'll get. it was very hot but it worthwhile. I recommend searching about the emperor while visiting the tomb and all the art will make sense!

An architecturally interesting Mausoleum built in the 1900s by one of Vietnam’s least favorite emperors. Worth a visit if you’re interested in architecture, but the historicity of the site is less than some of the other mausoleums in the area.

If you intend to visit many of the tombs and even the citadel your much better off buying a group ticket we spent 2x the amount visiting everywhere. This tomb was great inside.

Fascinating and beautiful. The mausoleum is beautifully detailed and well looked after. There are lots of interesting things to look at and the detail and design of the interior is stunning ! Tickets were £150k each. We rented a moped in Hue centre and drove up, it’s a lovely drive and would recommend doing this if you’re confident. The view from the mausoleum was very nice as well. There are several cafes outside of the grounds also. I would recommend !

Probably my most favorite Vietnamese Emperor Mausoleum to visit thus far. I’d recommend buying the combo tickets.

Between this Mausoleum and the one for Tu Duc, we were really blown away by this one. A guide said to do this one combined with one of the other two, as this one is very unique compared to the others and we agree. You can buy a pass for one site, three, or all four. We were glad we picked three including this one, but if you pick four you will see them all. You have two days to use the pass. You don’t need much time here as it is smaller, but it is very impressive. The structure is up many stairs and very impressive but the true beauty is inside. The ornate ceramic murals on the walls and painted mural ceilings were some of the most beautiful pieces of Asian architecture and history we have seen. Additionally you see the view from the hill it is on with a view of the standing Buddha. We did not go see the base of the Buddha as we had a good view from here. On a somewhat stormy day it was very beautiful. This is not a place for people who cannot go up stairs, as there are about four flights to get up. There is a free bathroom and 4K motorbike parking at the base.

This was the second mausoleum we visited, the first being tu duc. Really recommend the combination of both since this is very different to the rest. There are lots of high stairs to the entrance and to get to the main building, so the accessibility is really bad in that regard.

Awed by the location and majesty of this place. Great landscape may be seen after ascending the flight of stairs to the tomb. Both the guardians of the late emperor's tomb and the tomb itself were magnificent structures.

This is the most impressive thomb in Hué, according to us even more impressive that the Old City. If you have limited amount of time, choose this one. It's build an a slope, so you also have a beautiful view!

Wow, this is a mausoleum worth its name. Khan Ding was an important emperor of the Nguyen dynasty albeit in a relatively recent era. This mausoleum can hold its own among the grandeur of Mughal mausoleums of India, which are from another era.

A bit out of place. We hired Grab driver for roundtrip for 400k dong with 1 hour wait time. It took us 45 minutes to look over the site. 150k dong for entrance. After the visit, I am not sure if it was worth the effort and money to visit this place.

Underwhelming, structure is nice but you can finish the walk in 30 mins. Pretty hot and mostly unshaded too. No issue buying tickets on the spot, in case you have change of plans prior to reaching.

A little bit away from Hue city, but it's a must see monument. Be careful on hot days and take all you need. There is many steps and all the structure made of stones. Maybe the most beautiful and impressive mausoleum in Hue!

I recently visited the Tomb of Khai Dinh in Hue and was absolutely captivated by its stunning architecture. The blend of Eastern and Western styles creates a unique and majestic atmosphere. The intricate mosaics inside are breathtaking, showcasing incredible craftsmanship. It's a steep climb to the top, but the views and the historical significance of the site make it entirely worth it. A must-visit for anyone interested in Vietnam's rich history and cultural heritage.

The location boasts stunning beauty despite its modest size, but be prepared for significant sweating and numerous stairs. I bought the ticket from the Imperial Palace but there is a ticket booth nearby if you wish to buy on the spot. I used motorbike and we parked in front of the location (no parking fee).

It is a really impressive mausoleum, not only for the extension, but also for the details around the architecture and the design. It has a beautiful decoration, as well as some nice surroundings with green valleys in the background. It's a bit touristy, but it's worth the trip!

I have not visited all the tombs but I think this has to be one of the prettiest's. It is not big in size, in fact it's rather small, but the craftsmanship and the minutia behind its decoration is absolutely astonishing.

I didn't visit all the tombs in the town, but this was my favourite.. beautiful calm place, reminds me more some beautiful park than tomb/temple. Grab a book, some snack and just chill on the edge of the lake!

Quieter and less visited than many other tombs in the area. The grounds and temples here are just as beautiful. I appreciated how flat the ground was here, a lot less climbing than at other tombs. We might have skipped this one if we hadn’t already bought the number four ticket that included the entrance here. So glad we did come, this is one of my favorites.

It's a piece of land. The citadel is impressive and large. You can see its true size from the model. Unfortunately, they are renovating, so we couldn't visit everywhere. If you want to know more about the kings and their lives in the past, definitely go here.

This is the best spot in Hue but doesn't seem to be considered as such by tour organisers. We went on a sunny but mild day, it wasn't overly busy and the grounds are stunning. Its very easy to navigate but you can also quite easily wander off and find your own shaded pavilion to chill out at. Could spend anything from 30 minutes to 3 hours here. Just fantastic.

It's one of my favourite thoombs in Hue. It us more distant, but it's quieter, not too many tourists are going there, it's spacious, surrounded by the river and lakes. If you come before closing time, before 5 pm, you can witness the green parrots singing and nesting. It has a great atmosphere.

We visited three graves during our stay in Hue. Renting a scooter (which you can do at your hostel or rental store) was the best way to go about this. The three tombs are all approachable in the same day, along with other places, if you use a scooter. Surrounding this specific mausoleum are some lovely gardens. However the actual tomb site is only open once a year, on the anniversary of the emperors death, therefore you can’t actually see the tomb unless you go on this date. It’s worth a visit though if you are doing the other tombs. The entry fee is 150,000 and can be bought right outside the entrance.

Amazing architecture! Our personal tour guide, who accompanied us, was able to provide us with further information about the location's history. It is situated in a fairly large region. There is a tonne of shelter and wonderful locations for photographs.

I'd say this is one of the better looking masoleums in Hue, mostly due to the fact that they included trees and lakes in the design, hence the atmosphere is very tranquil, and there are actual shades from the sun (bring a hat & sunscreen people, the sunshine here is not to be messed with 🥵). Walking straight from the entrance all the way to the tomb would take you around 20 minutes, otherwise it would take nearly an hour if you take a lot of pictures. There are 3 entrance to the masoleum, we followed the sign on the road and actually had to *walk* for another 10 minutes along the masoleum wall to the ticket kiosk 🤧 One adult ticket costs 150,000, though if you are a Hue residence, then it's actually half.

Worth the trip out of the city, about 30 min drive. We hired a taxi and went around to three major tombs. We bought to combo tickets with the palace. It was very beautiful even though the plumarias were not in bloom. Quiet with no one there except us, most of the time.

The tomb is well-preserved. The architecture of the buildings are kept like hundred years ago. We can’t pay visit the the king’s grave itself but the surrounding areas are beautiful enough. Also it is not too far from the Hue center. You can drive your motorbike to here and back in the morning.

This is the burial site of the secon Vietnamese king. The favourite of the local people as you can see by the enormous mausoleom he has and by the many visitors. It is a very beautiful place with fancy buildings gorgeous plants and a calm atmosphere. I can highly recommend going there if you are already in Hue.

Great experience. Audio guide is great and at 70K, no reason not to get it. Makes a huge difference. Grounds are beautiful and buildings well maintained. A really interesting experience.

Extraordinary, just impressive! It is not a must but still a good and beautiful site to experience. I especially liked the very detailled statues with their impressive details. We took a Grab taxi from the city center for about 130k Dong

Only a 12 minute drive from the Khai Dinh Tomb, so a must see. However, if you don’t already have a combo ticket that includes it, it’s 150,000vnd (£4.82/6.12usd) to enter.

Great Mausoleum with lots of other things to see then the other mausoleums in Hué. You learn a lot about the Nguyễn Dynasty. But a heads up, you can't visit the actual tomb which is walled and locked down by a Gate. But the surrounding area with all it's Feng Shui is very impressive!

An amazing restoration that peaks the interest of anyone inclined to enjoy history and culture. Quite enjoyable.

One of many temples / palaces in this city, most are worth visiting like this one

Very beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Had a lovely wander around the royal tomb. I definitely recommend buying the combo tickets in advance if you are planning to visit more than one of the local historical sites. Don’t get conned by the taxi drivers insisting you don’t use the Grab App as no drivers will be around and that you must book them to hang around for you. We managed to get a taxi very easily through the app.

Tu Dam pagoda locates in Su Lieu Quan street. It is only 2km from the centre of Hue city. It is known for one of the oldest pogada in Viet Nam. There are three parts in the pagoda which includes the three entrance gate, the main sanctuary and the conference House. The atmosphere is fresh and peaceful. It has a big bodhi tree in the right. Let try to sit on the benches under it and see the leaves and sky. It is so wonderful. I was attracted by the tower with 7 floors. The flowers bloom in the back yard. The wind chimes creates wonderful sound that makes visiters' soul resful.

Its nice but some lady asked me to give her 100k. I thought it was the entrance fee but only later did she want to use google translate to tell me that she would donate it to the temple?? She showed me around a bit for 10min and asked me for more money.

Lots of history with this temple. One of main temple in Huế that fight for freedom of religious during Ngo Dinh Diem regime. Watch out for Vietnamese beggars trying to help you tour the temple and ask for money later.

A little of the tourist route, not a place to spend hours but lovely and scerene. Its free to get in and well worth the effort

Busy stretch of road alongside the Han River. Plenty of cafes etc.

One of the most ancient pagodas in Hue. The traditional design and decorative motifs of this pagoda are beautiful.
