Located peacefully on the banks of the poetic Perfume River, Thien Mu Pagoda (also known as Linh Mu) is one of the most ancient and sacred temples in Vietnam. Built in 1601 under the Nguyen Lords, the pagoda is renowned for its seven-story Phuoc Duyen Tower, a symbol forever associated with the city of Hue. From the top of the hill, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Perfume River and the tranquil city below, creating a picture-perfect scene of peace and spirituality. Steeped in history and legend, Thien Mu Pagoda is not just a religious site — it is a must-visit destination where travellers can feel the timeless charm and cultural soul of Hue.

The shimmering water reflects the city’s charm, while the scent of blooming flowers drifts through the air — a reminder of why it’s called the Perfume River.

The Imperial City of Hue stands as the heart of Vietnam’s former royal capital, preserving the magnificent legacy of the Nguyen Dynasty – the country’s last feudal rulers. Recognised by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site, this vast complex features majestic palaces, ancient gates, and elegant pavilions, all designed with perfect harmony and rich oriental feng shui principles. Passing through the Noon Gate (Ngo Mon), visitors are transported back in time to admire Thai Hoa Palace, where royal ceremonies once took place, and the Forbidden Purple City, the private residence of the emperors. Every moss-covered roof and carved wooden beam tells a storey of Hue’s royal grandeur. A visit to the Imperial City is not only a journey through Vietnam’s imperial architecture and artistry, but also an opportunity to feel the solemn, timeless spirit of the Nguyen Dynasty and the cultural soul of Hue.
