Pagoda of the Heavenly Lady


Legend has it that an old lady once stood on a hill and told the people that a Lord would come and build a pagoda for the country’s prosperity. Lord Nguyen Hoang on hearing that, ordered for the construction of the pagoda in 1601.

Sitting on the Hà Khê hill, along the northern bank of the Perfume River, the seven storey-high Thien Mu Pagoda is the tallest stupa in Vietnam.
