Khai Dinh Tomb was the final architectural work of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is widely regarded as one of Vietnam's most exemplary structures due to its innovative use of Western materials and designs.
The tomb’s location was exactly determined by feng shui experts at that time. Natural surroundings such as hills and streams are near the tomb, which was also according to geographical feng shui principles. It resulted in an awe-inspiring and spectacular landscape that we can see nowadays.
