Thien Mu Pagoda is situated on Ha Khe hill, on the northern bank of the Perfume River, in Huong Long, in the city of Hue. Built in 1601, by the Nguyen Dynasty, the pagoda has seven levels and is the tallest religious structure in Vietnam. The main sanctuary, Dai Hung Shrine, houses three statues of the Buddha, as well as other significant relics. A pavilion to the west of the tower houses a giant bronze bell weighing 3285 kg, the Dai Hong Chung. The bell is audible from 10 kilometers away. The Thien Mu Pagoda was restored by several kings of the Nguyen Dynasty.
