The famous Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue.

[firth1974 2,659]

This temple, or Pagoda, Thien Mu Pagoda, was the home to one of the most famous Buddhist monks in the world, Thich Quang Duc(The burning monk).

Located on what i think is the highest point in Hue, it is only really popular because of this monk, and his car that featured in that famous photo.

Some nice photos, I really enjoyed Hue. Mate and I hired bikes and rode around the outside of the walls...it was hot and the locals thought we were mad. !!

 

Did you head to Nim binh as well?

No. Nim Binh was orginally on my list as i wanted to visit Tam Coc, but this being my first time in Vietnam, i had more than enough thnigs and places to do and see. Hoping to get back there in the New year if possible, and if i do, Nim Binh and Dien Bein Phu will be on my target list this time!
