Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue

Place is nice. The tower is short though. I was expecting something more. Very chill environment. 5 stars because i was able to watch by chance a Buddhist prayer happening at the temple (i think it was 4pm). I went by Grab bike but to return only Grab cars were available, and not bikes.

A little bit out of Hue but it is a great site of the pagoda once you climb the stairs at the entrance. The site also includes a temple and a garage including the car owned by a monk who set himself alight in protest to protect the values of his religion. The grounds are serene and when we visited the monks on site were performing a ritual so the music and prayer set the scene.

Lovely temple right outside the center of Hue. There was a group of local Buddhist monks chanting in the main hall. The grounds are well kept and it was great walking around. The pagoda is the main attraction and it overlooks the Perfume River. It’s a must visit when you are in Hue.

I really liked the place a lot. It was so calm and peaceful. I wanted to say for so more time but we had to move. The place around is also very scenic. You can also take a boat ride from here for half hour or one hour, if you wish to.

We took a dragon boat (100K per pax for 30 mins ride, almost certain we got ripped off) to the Pagoda. Great views, and tranquil and peaceful garden at the back. Wish we could spend more time to enjoy the ambience and idyllic setting.
