Visit Vietnam(7) Tomb of King Khai Dinh


Tomb of King Khai Dinh which is far away from Hue city around 10 kmtrs. This king was the 12  emperor in Ngian dynasty.Mostly people hated him due to difficulty lives from earned more tax policy and under controlled by French law.
Especially one part of income was used to build this tomb for himself during alive which wasted money till one of artist painted every cielings in this tomb with his feet in dragon picture named "Dragon in cloud" for sarcastic.
By the way, after the king knew the result for used feet to draw this ,he still didn't punish him cause of the
painting was so wonderful and beautiful.
This tomb was built during 1920-1931 spent 11 years till finished. The stylist mixed between Rococo and
Vietnamese ,looks harmonious. It still left without took care till the last emperor of Ngian dynasty then returned to communist governor.
