Thứ Hai, 21 tháng 9, 2015
This pagoda, also known as Linh Mu pagoda, is one of the most beautiful and ancient architectural structures of worship in Hue. The pagoda is situated on Ha Khe Hill, on the left bank of the Perfume River, 7km south-west of Hue, in Huong Long Commune, Hue City.
It was built in the17th century, according to a legend about the prediction of a fairy lady and was, therefore, named Thien Mu (fairy ladyfrom heaven).
The most striking feature of the pagoda is its Phuoc Duyen Tower. The tower was built by Thieu Tri King in 1844, and has become the unoffical symbol of Hue. Each of its seven stories is dedicated to a Buddha who appeared in human form. There is a Buddha statue placed on each story, in a small arched door.
To the left of the tower is a pavilion sheltering an enormous bell. The bell, called Dai Hong Chung, was cast in 1710. It weighs 3,283kg and is 1.4m in circumference. It considered to be an outstanding achievement of 18th century bronze casting.
To the right of the tower is a pavilion containing a stela dating from 1715. It is set on the back of a massive marble turtle, a symbol of longevity.
Thien Mu Pagoda can be reached either by car or by boat. Entrance is free.
