As you know, all the emperors of the Nguyen dynasty thought that this life is just a temporary life. When you passed away, you would live a real life. So what you need in this life, you would need in the after-life. So the first thing they did when they first came to the throne is to order the Fengshui tellers to find the perfect Fengshui places to build the tombs. Please remember it, everything inside the tombs has never been used in the past, only for their afterlife.
The first place is the Khai Dinh Tomb. We will visit the most beautiful and expensive royal tomb of the 12th emperor, the Khai Dinh Tomb. Not following traditional architecture, Khai Dinh Tomb is a mixture of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, French, and Vietnamese architecture.
You will say twice WOW, WOW because it is such a fabulous tomb and the most beautiful tomb in the world. At the Khai Dinh tomb, you can take some great photos and practice your photography skills.
