 Iconic symbol of Hue Nov 23, 2008
Standing on the left bank of the Perfume River is the seven-story octagonal tower of the Thien Mu Pagoda that is lovely symbol of Hue.

There are two pavilions close by. One shelters a huge bell, while the other, a stele on top of a tortoise that tells of the story of buddhism in Hue. The main sanctuary houses a bronze laughing buddha and Three statues namely A Di Da, Thich Ca, and Di Lac. All three are permutations of the buddha. There's a monk quarters and a pine tree forest at the back, as well as a shrine. The Shrine quite a beautiful spot within the site with all those leave-less frangipani and other ornamental plants. The pagoda is one of the most well-maintained structures i've seen in Vietnam and is very welcoming to visitors.  Part of the Vietnam ... here I AM! travel blog

After a nice sleep, I was awoken with a phone call and information about a boat and lunch and a visit to a tomb and pagoda via the river. Sounds like a mouthful, but it wasn't.
Four of us had taken the boat upriver at a leisurely pace …Pagoda??? Several nuoc mia's later, we were on the boat.
Thien Mu Pagoda was the next stop, and although beautiful and a symbol of Hue, it was pretty overrun with tourists. People snapping pictures of everything, in hoards coming off buses… Lazy day on the Perfume |

*This entry is backdated*On our second full day in Hanoi we woke early and went to the Ho Chi Minh Mausolem. It was so full of tourists that I couldnt even take a decent picture. How dare they! Not too far from there was Ho Chi Minh's Relic area…Thien Mu Pagoda, and then visited the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. I really enjoyed this place. Again it was set in beautiful surroundings, and with the water close by, it just made it the whole lot better. A few of us had arranged some… Busy As A Bee |

Midday. In Hue. It’s a little grey. Sad to say. Hey, that all rhymes; “I’m a poet but I jus’ don’t know it!” etc, etc… so yeah, a few hours further north from Hoi An ( “How I miss you already Hoiiiii An!” ) …Thien Mu Pagoda. The only sight on the trip that does not come with an entrance fee so grab this one whilst you can. It’s pretty enough with its seven-tiered pagoda tower. The main sites on the float down this… Hue : Of grey skies and Kings, Citadels, Tombs and things. |
