Mausoleum of the 12th Emperor Khai Dinh, one of the most grand among all with Neo classical, Gothic and Baroque design.
Characteristic, rich and noble performance, Chinese and Western combination! ! This imperial tomb is very different from China or his ancestor's tomb 100 years ago. Vietnam wedding photos also have new people taking pictures here. I really can't think of it.
The last stop in Hue, hurrying to arrive at 4:30, Vietnam in December was dark and early, and I could only visit in a hurry. The scale of Qiding Mausoleum is not large, and it is the mausoleum of Qiding, the father of the last emperor of Vietnam, Baoda. The style is combined with Chinese and Western styles, with mosaic wall decorations, which are extremely exquisite. The Shinto is dressed in the official uniform of the Shu Dynasty, which often appears on postcards.
It's a little far from Hue city, so rent a tour, motobike or bicycle. The appearance is quiet with stones turned black due to the influence of nature. However, the inside of the building is gorgeously decorated. It is a decoration that is influenced by France and fuses Chinese and Vietnamese cultures. I think it's very worth going.
The tomb of Emperor Kaidin, the ultimate of gorgeousness. It also feels like a Cambodian ruins
Located 15 kilometers south of Hue City, on the edge of Xiangjiang River, find a motorcycle from the city for about 4-5 US dollars to go back and forth, or rent a boat in Xiangjiang. It is recommended to visit with Mingming Emperor's Mausoleum and Yuande Emperor's Mausoleum. At the entrance there is a row of majestic carved dragon steps directly to the front yard of the imperial tomb, with pictograms, horse-shaped and military and military officials on the platform. A stone monument inscribed in Chinese is a memorial article for Emperor Baoda to mourn his father's Kaiding emperor. On the platform above the tomb, there is a life-sized bronze statue of Qiding. The floor inside the tomb is covered with colored glazed tiles, and there are huge Xianglong murals on the wall. The left and right sides of the inner corridor are colored murals made of flower tiles and broken glass, which tell different stories. Small but the most beautiful of all imperial tombs, and the atmosphere is extraordinary, there are three floors, built on the hill, one layer higher than the other. There are two rows of sculptures at the entrance, which often appear on postcards in Vietnam.
Qiding imperial tomb is the smallest of Hue imperial tombs, but undoubtedly the most distinctive: Qiding imperial tomb is more modern, so the architectural style is also a combination of Chinese and Western, quite a bit of the taste of Yuanmingyuan architecture, and other imperial tombs are basically Chinese style. There are more tourists here than the Suide Mausoleum, especially the tour groups like to bring here. The layout of the imperial mausoleum is on the mountain, the steep steps go up, and there are stone people standing on both sides of the platform on the first floor. It is a check-in point for net reds. Continue to go up is the main building. The mausoleums inside the main building are even more gorgeous, and the large number of mosaic art is lingering. The small hall next to the mausoleum has some artworks, watches, swords, etc. sent by the French, reflecting the king and the history of the country at that time. A package ticket can be purchased with Hue Palace, which is cheaper than a separate visit.
