With over 400 years old, Thien Mu pagoda is one of the most ancient pagodas in Hue City. Considered as the city’s symbol, it is an attractive place.
In 1601, Lord Nguyen Hoang – the first lord of Nguyen Dynasty in Dang Trong (Southern Vietnam), along with his army, moved to the South to settle down. He himself made a survey of the terrain to choose a suitable place to site for his own capital. One time, when he was riding his horse upstream along Perfume River side, he saw a small hill that had the shape of a dragon turning its head back and a harmonious combination between mountains and rivers. It was called Ha Khe hill. The local people also said that there was an old lady, in red and green clothes, appearing on the hill every night and telling the local people that a true Lord would come and build a pagoda for the country’s prosperity. Upon hearing the story, he asked to set up a pagoda on the hill, facing the Perfume River and named Thien Mu (means Heaven Lady).
