The reason I booked a tour for Hue was because I didn't really know how to get around, or how to get tickets to visit some of the places that I was interested in. And since this tour covered everything I wanted to see, and it even includes lunch, I thought I might as well delegate out my headache to someone else for a small fee. Tien Mu Pagoda and the Perfume River was one of the places I wanted to visit as my friends have told me about it.
The Pagoda site was just along the Perfume River, so it provides a very breezy and nice view while visiting the place. We can't really go up the pagoda, so it was more of just a visit and admiring the surrounding area. Luckily there were more to see than just a pagoda.
We were free to explore section by section, as long as we wait up for the group and the guide to catch up with us. It wasn't very crowded, and the surrounding was very natural in nature. Nothing very touristy about it. Very quiet and peaceful. I still can't believe this is Vietnam! Lol.
There are a few section divided by these gates. So we can just proceed further and further into the temple ground. The first pagoda out front was dedicated to the heavens, but there is also a smaller pagoda at the last section that is dedicated to the monk here.
Some of the tower along the way....
Smaller pagodas? Stupas?
The local tourist tends to dress up more for photo taking than us foreigners :P
