1, Thien Mu Pagoda (Heavenly Lady Pagoda)

Thien Mu Pagoda is a well-know pagoda in Hue. The pagoda is located on Ha Khe hill, Huong Long commune, Hue city. It possesses an ancient architecture style which is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Hue.

The name Thien Mu is originated from a legend. It is said that, long ago, there was an old woman who often appeared on Ha Khe hill. She said: this land would welcome a Lord who set up a Pagoda there to keep the land sustainable. After that, the old woman disappeared. And her foretell has come into real life when Lord Nguyen Hoang visited the land. Upon being told about the strange story, he decided to set up the pagoda with the name Thien Mu as we can see today.

The pagoda was constructed in 1601 and upgraded in 1655. The pagoda had been upgraded and repaired under the Nguyen dynasty by King Gia Long, Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, Thanh Thai.

PhuongDuyen Tower(which is initially called Tu Nhan Tower) was constructed in 1844 by King Thieu Tri. This 7-floor octagonal tower also contributes to the special architecture pattern of Thien Mu Pagoda.

Dai Hung temple is the main court hall of the Pagoda. This is a majestic architecture construction with shining Buddha statues made of copper. Along the two sides of the pagoda are the two area of houses, one is home to the bonzes and the other is the guest house to welcome visitors to the Pagoda.

The pagoda is surrounded by gardens of trees and flowers which make the atmosphere more peaceful. There is a poetic forest of pine trees behind the Pagoda. Thien Mu Pagoda was once destroyed in 1943. Since 1945, Thich Don Hau, a bonze has successfully carried out the 30-year long reconstruction to rescue the pagoda.

Today, Thien Mu Pagoda continues to be repaired and reconstructed to welcome visitors from all regions of Vietnam as well as all over the world.
 

2, Minh Mang’s Tomb

The most majestic tombs to be mentioned here is that of Emperor Minh Mang, a staunch follower of Confucianism with many wives, concubines and a small army of children. The construction of the tombs had been planned in advanced by the Emperor and built shortly after his death. It is laid out in formal Chinese style with exotic and opulent architecture pattern.

With the possible exception of Khai Dinh’s monument, no other tomb approaches the level of unity of the elements of Minh Mang's tomb. The harmony layout and symmetry as well as the architectural balance of the tombs have made it a architectural work of art which will continue to satisfy the eyes of visitors.
 

3,Tu Duc’s Tomb

The tomb of Tu Duc is set among an elegant garden with peaceful lake and pavilion complex. The centerpiece of the Tomb is really simple despite the lavish opulence resign of the Emperor. The tomb is, in fact, just a monument since the Emperor was buried elsewhere to thwart grave robbers.

Despite his cultural pursuits and desire to achieve a humble lifestyle, it was under the rule of Tu Duc that the Nguyen court reached its zenith of lavish opulence. Tu Duc King then withdrew into court life, seemingly indifferent to the people he ruled, and the brutal treatment of the three thousand artisans and workers who were pressed into service to build this tomb.
