Imperial Tomb of Dong Khanh, Hue

Amazing architecture and design, slightly too expensive for how small it is at 100,000 kip. Also you should aim to get there very early as it quickly gets filled with coach loads of tourists

Rented a moped in Hue to get to this location. Very easy ride even in the rain. This was one of the locations that our hotel recommended and it was fantastic. Beautiful stone carvings here.

This is one of the most interesting sites I've visited in Hue, and actually found this tomb more fascinating than the Palace and Citadel. There's a unique style and architecture to this place that really testifies to how much the French had entwined themselves into Vietnamese life. French culture appears not so much fused as forced upon Vietnam's extent, ancient culture. The setting for the tomb is remarkable, absolutely picturesque.

As of July 6, 2019, this Tomb is closed for construction. Many reviews have mistaken this tomb for the larger Tomb of Tu Doc just a few minutes up the street. The Tomb of Tu Doc is beautiful and well worth the visit, more peaceful and shady than the citadel but quite expansive. Not sure about the Tomb of Dong Khanh as it was closed to visits and we could only get a small glimpse through the doorway. Seemed pretty small.

Very small, nothing really going on here. Can take it all in within five minutes. Dark and unattended. I think the people who reviewed this tomb are mistaking it for the other nearby tomb.
