Summary[edit]
| Description |
The tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh is situated on the slope of Chau Chu mountain (also called Chau E), 10 km from Hue. It took 11 years to complete the tomb, from 1920 to 1931. Different from those of other emperors, Khai Dinh’s tomb is mixed up by many architectural trends: European and Asian, ancient and modern as being influenced by Western culture and by the King’s characteristic also. The overall construction of the tomb is an emerging rectangle structure with 127 steps, leaning against the mountain. Its main interest lies in the synthesis of Vietnamese and European elements to build and design the tomb. Using concrete as modern building material for construction and utilizing fragments of ceramics and glass for decoration, Khai Dinh’s tomb can be regarded as a masterpiece of Eastern and Western art that helps distinguish it from other royal tombs of Hue. |
