Photos: Linh Mụ Pagoda

Posted on March 18, 2017August 11, 2017by lanhue

I live near Linh Mụ, the iconic landmark of royal capital of Huế. It’s about 3 km away from my home but some time it takes me at least an hour to reach the staircase leading to the seven-storey of Phước Duyên since my photo walk is always slow and leisurely. I love this pagoda’s […]

Posted on March 12, 2017May 28, 2021by lanhue

#ComeWalkWithMe: Ngọ Môn at Sunrise

Posted on February 22, 2017November 18, 2017by lanhue

Many Westerners as well as the local people mistranslated Ngọ Môn – the main entrance to Hoàng Thành (Huế Royal City) is Noon Gate. This happens as the word “Ngọ” in ancient Chinese – Vietnamese language means “noon” when talking about time but it indicates “South” when referring to direction. Ngọ Môn of Huế Royal […]
