11 of Vietnam’s Most spectacular temples and shrines (Part 1)
Curious to explore Vietnam beyond its beaches, where ancient dynasties, sacred temples, and forgotten civilizations still quietly shape the landscape?
1. The Pagodas of Ancient Huế
The Forbidden Purple City of the old Nguyen Dynasty Emperors may have been badly damaged by B-52s, but the countryside around is littered with fabulous pagodas and temple tombs in a complex preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These include the octagonal Thien Mu Pagoda, perched over the Perfume River, and the Huyen Tran Princess Temple, which is topped with swirling dragon gables, set in fragrant pine forest and built in homage to a Vietnamese princess who campaigned for peace. Most beautiful of all are the temple tombs of Tu Doc, the longest reigning of all the Nguyen emperors – a series of coral pink pagodas looking over little lakes and surrounded by bird-trilling gardens and woods.
2. My Son Sanctuary
Looking like Angkor Wat in miniature, this 1,500-year-old ruined city of vine-strangled stupas and crumbling terracotta carvings lies strewn in dense rainforest at the feet of rolling mountains. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and just a stone’s throw from tourist-tramped Hoi An, so it’s a miracle that most visitors have its serenity pretty much to themselves, the green magpies and the crimson sunbirds that flit and trill in the forest.
