Possibly Hue’s most recognizable landmark, this pagoda contains numerous living and working buildings for its resident monks, a bell tower and a seven-tiered monument in front.

If you are wanting to visit a pagoda, this is a must. Iconic 7 tier pagoda plus grounds, other buildings and working monastery so you should get to see some monks around ranging from the fully fledged in sunshine colours the the student boys in blue, some appearing as young as 6 or 7 years old. We were privileged enough to be there at 11am when they he monks convened for ceremonial lunch and watched the full prayer ceremony culminating in them eating together. A fascinating insight into Buddhist life. This monastery is the origin of the Buddhist monk who set himself alight in Hanoi in the 60’s. You can view his Austin motor car and photographs of the event which attracted the Pulitzer Prize for reporting by the Wetsern NYT journalist who was present. Not to be missed, in my opinion.
