Thien Mu Pagoda was built in 1601 CE under Nguyen Hoang, the governor of Thuan Hoa province, now known as Hue. Although he swore loyalty to the Le Dynasty in Hanoi, Nguyen Hoang effectively ruled Thuan Hoa as an independent state in central Vietnam. The pagoda has seven storeys and is the tallest in Vietnam, and is often the subject of folk rhymes and poetry about Hue, which was the imperial capital of Vietnam between 1802 and 1945.<br/><br/> Hue was the imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty between 1802 and 1945. The tombs of several emperors lie in and around the city and along the Perfume River. Hue is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Song Huong (Sông Hương) or Perfume River rises in an inaccessible region of the Truong Son mountain range and descends through a series of 55 waterfalls before flowing through the heart of Hue and on to the South China Sea. It is not particularly long or large, but it is extraordinarily beautiful, an effect enhanced at Hue by the reflection of the walled citadel, pagodas, towers and temples.<br/><br/>To this may be added the picturesque riverine traffic – women in white mollusc hats scull tiny, single-oared vessels back and forth from bank to bank, while larger boats piled high with vegetables and fish head for Hue’s bustling Dong Ba Market. Great lengths of bamboo tied in swathes are towed downriver, past rattan-roofed houseboats moored mid-stream with wisps of smoke issuing from tiny kitchen areas, and fishermen standing confidently upright in their narrow craft, casting their nets or retrieving fish traps.

The Perfume River crosses the city of Hue in the central Vietnamese province of Thua Thien Hue. In the autumn, flowers from orchards upriver fall into the water, giving it an aromatic smell—hence the name 'Perfume River'. The Perfume River has two sources, both of which begin in the Day Truong Son mountain range and meet at Bang Lang fork. The 30-km river passes the landmarks of the Hon Chen Temple and the Ngoc Tran Temple.
