Featured attractions
Built in 1917, An Dinh Palace is a unique artistic and architectural work of the Nguyen Dynasty, featuring a combination of European style and traditional royal decoration.
This ancient palace has a total area of nearly 24,000 square meters and is a complex of many different works. Currently, three buildings of the palace still exist: the main entrance, the Neutral Palace and the Qi Qiang Tower. This place was associated with many royal figures in the late Nguyen Dynasty, including King Khai Dinh, King Bao Dai, Prince Bao Long, Queen Mother Tuan Huy, and especially the last Queen of the South of Vietnam.
Not only is the exterior design impressive, Qiqiang Tower also invested in extremely exquisite decoration, using many materials brought back from Europe. There are murals of high artistic value and furniture on the first floor. The lobby area is also very eye-catching, with 6 paintings hanging on the wall, framed with wooden frames and carved with patterns. The carved lotus leaves and apricot flowers are very beautiful.
As one of the most unique architectural features of the palace, the main entrance is designed in the style of a two-story, three-entry door. The details around the door are decorated with embossed porcelain, which looks very majestic. There is a large pearl icon on the roof above.
Neutrality Palace is an octagonal public housing structure with a high foundation located behind the main entrance. The roof is an antique floor structure, divided into two layers, the lower layer is eight-sided and the upper layer is four-sided. There is a bronze statue of King Khai Dinh in the public house. It was cast in 1920 and has the right weight. Emperor Khai Dinh was named by King Khai Dinh himself, which means "the place where good omens come from". The floor is divided into 3 floors, covering an area of about 745 square meters, and is a European-style building.
