Tomb of an emperor installed by the French, who was preoccupied with courtly pomp and enjoyed a certain kitsch.

Khai Dinh (1916-1925) was a kind of puppet emperor installed by the French after the difficulties encountered with the previous emperors (Thanh Thai and Duy Tân). He was concerned only with courtly pomp and enjoyed a certain kitsch, which reached its peak in the aesthetics of his tomb. Built between 1920 and 1931, it is a mixture of Asian and European styles, made of iron, steel, concrete, slate tiles imported from France, ceramics, earthenware and glass imported from China and Japan.

Très intéressant, certes kitsch mais montre bien l’alliance de l’architecture européenne et vietnamienne. La décoration intérieure ainsi que le tombeau sont impressionnants.

Assez étrange car au final très récent ( années 1920) ce dernier tombeau construit pour un empereur vietnamien est quand meme impressionnant surtout avec l'escalier bordé de statues. Prévoir un couvre chef car il fait souvent très chaud a Hué et peu d'ombre sur le site.

C'est un des tombeaux impériaux à visiter. On peut le visiter en négociant avec un taxi la visite des 3 tombeaux impériaux Tu Duc, Khai Dinh et Minh Mang dans une demi-journée.

On a adoré : La cour des cérémonies avec les statues de part et d'autre. Le sarcophage de l'empereur avec ses mosaïques sur les murs certes kitch mais surprenant. La montée des escaliers avec les rampes en forme de dragons.
