The Tomb of Khai Dinh, also known as Ung Lang (Ung Mausoleum), was built for King Khai Dinh, the twelfth emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is situated on the side of Chau Chu mountain outside Hue city, now belonging to Thuy Bang commune, Huong Thuy town.
Compared to the tombs of the previous kings, the size of the Tomb of Khai Dinh is more modest, only about 5,000 square meters. However, this project is extremely elaborate and took nearly 11 years to complete.
The architecture of the Khai Dinh’s tomb was considered remarkable by many generations, standing out from the traditional Nguyen Dynasty style by its innovation, originality and intricacy in every small detail./.
