Our first stop is the Khai Dinh Mausoleum, a place shrouded in mystery. Here, we can catch a glimpse of the opulent life led by King Khai Dinh, the 12th monarch of the Nguyen Dynasty. Unlike other tombs, this mausoleum stands out with its unique architectural blend of traditional Vietnamese elements and Western influences the 19th century. Metal gates, straight crucifixes, and an innovative light system replace the conventional use of wood, stone, and brick.
As we continue our journey, we will board a boat to visit the Minh Mang Mausoleum, an ancient tomb that has withstood the test of time. Constructed in 1843 after three years of meticulous work, this tomb serves as the final resting place for the second King of the Nguyen Dynasty. At the entrance, we will be greeted by three gates, with the magnificent Big Red Gate taking center stage. Inside the Honor Courtyard, stone statues of Mandarins, elephants, and horses stand guard, preserving the grandeur of the past.
Our exploration will lead us to the Mausoleum of Tu Duc, the fourth King of the Nguyen Dynasty, known for his lengthy reign. Nestled in a narrow valley, this tomb was built between 1864 and 1867 and covers an expansive area of 475 hectares. Inside, we will find around 50 monuments that boast a harmonious and graceful structure, reflecting the poetic spirit of King Tu Duc.
In the evening, we will embark on a relaxing ride along the Perfume River, taking in the breathtaking scenery. We will make a stop at a picturesque garden house, meticulously designed following the rules of geomancy, where we can absorb the tranquil ambience.
Our day concludes with a transfer back to the hotel. Dinner arrangements will be at your own discretion. Enjoy a restful overnight stay.
