• Hai Van Pass - The Hai Van Pass, also known as the Sea Clouds Pass, presents a breathtaking view of lush mountains and clear blue skies, overlooking Da Nang City, Tien Sa Port, Son Tra Peninsula, and the South China Sea. This pass, which crosses a spur of the Truong Son mountain range between Thua Thien-Hue Province and Da Nang City, is situated 500 meters above sea level, making it the highest pass in Vietnam. The 25-kilometer-long mountain pass is a favorite among adventurous motorcyclists due to its winding roads, sharp curves, and blind corners, while its lookout point offers stunning views of Da Nang Bay.
• Lap An Lagoon - Lập An Lagoon, also known as An Cư Lagoon, is an 800-hectare brackish water lagoon in Hue and part of Lăng Cô Bay, Phu Loc District, nestled between Hai Van Pass and Phu Gia Pass. Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Bach Ma mountain range and facing the beautiful Lăng Cô beach, Lập An Lagoon is one of the remarkable natural landscapes in Hue, often described by travel enthusiasts as a place where the mountains meet the ocean.
• Hue Imperial City (The Citadel) - As one of Vietnam’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Imperial City of Hue is a must-see attraction for tourists exploring the hidden charm of Vietnam. The Imperial City of Hue was a walled fortress and palace belonging to the ancient city of Hue, which served as the capital city of the Nguyen Dynasty for 140 years, from 1805 until 1945.
• Thien Mu Pagoda - Situated beside the picturesque Huong River, Thien Mu Pagoda, with its ancient architecture, enhances the beauty of this natural setting. The sound of the Thien Mu bell is like the soul of Hue, resonating over the Huong River as it winds its way in front of the Citadel to the sea, echoing in the hearts and minds of the people and visitors to Hue, the ancient capital.
• Tomb of Khai Dinh - The Royal Tomb of Nguyen Emperor Khai Dinh is unique among the royal tombs in Hue, Vietnam. While other royal tombs are expansive and invite respectful reflection, Khai Dinh’s final resting place is monumental in style and grand in execution.

According to local tour guides, Khai Dinh’s tomb was intentionally designed to be challenging to visit. Built on the side of a mountain, its inner sanctum is 127 steps up from street level, a fact that likely frustrated court officials who were required to pay their respects to the late emperor.

Fortunately, transportation to the tombs and a steady stream of tours ensure that visitors to Khai Dinh’s tomb no longer have to endure the same difficulties as those courtiers. Read on to discover how to experience Khai Dinh’s final resting place with ease.
