Vietnam 8 - Hue

Visits to King Khai Dinh's Imperial Tomb and Tu Hieu Pagoda.

This imperial tomb took 11 years and over 1,000 artisans to complete.
The intricate mosaics were amazing.

They ask that you not sleep or draw here.

With King Khai Dinh's army.

The tomb is in this building.

This is the monastery where Thich Nhat Hanh trained in Hue. He is a Buddhist monk, poet and peace activist. He now lives in France. I have a few of his writings on beautiful art by Katie Daisy in my home.
