Thanh Duyen Pagoda: 300-year-old gem of Hue
Located on Tuy Van Mountain in the former Vinh Hien commune, now Vinh Loc commune, Hue city, Thanh Duyen Pagoda was recognised as a national historical and cultural relic in 1996. Dating back to the 17th century, the pagoda underwent major restoration under King Minh Mang in 1836. One of Hue’s four renowned royal pagodas, it stands amid majestic natural scenery overlooking Tam Giang Lagoon - one of the Southeast Asia’s largest fresh water bodies.
