We stared the day with a boat trip on the Perfume River to the Pagoda of the Celestial Lady ( Chùa Thiên Mụ also called Linh Mụ Pagoda). The Pagoda of the Celestial Lady is a historic temple in the city of Huế in Vietnam. Its iconic seven-story pagoda is regarded as the unofficial symbol of the city, and the temple has often been the subject of folk rhymes and ca dao about Huế.
The pagoda sits on the Hà Khê hill, in the ward of Hương Long in Huế. It is around 5 kilometres from the Citadel of Huế constructed by the Nguyễn Dynasty and sits on the northern bank of the Perfume River.
