The Symbol of Hue: The Serene Beauty of Thien Mu Pagoda

Walking along the riverbank in Hue, a seven-story tower catches your eye even from a distance. This is none other than the Thien Mu Pagoda. As the oldest and most iconic temple in Hue, it looks like a painting when viewed across the Perfume River. The moment you step into the temple, a sense of tranquility envelops you. The space is filled only with the sounds of the wind, the chime of bells, and occasionally, the prayers of monks. Built in 1601, the temple carries the weight of centuries, yet its well-maintained gardens and tower exude a neat and serene atmosphere.
