The Thiên Mụ Temple (meaning Temple of the Celestial Lady, Vietnamese: Chùa Thiên Mụ; also called Linh Mụ Temple) is a historic temple in the city of Huế in Vietnam. Its iconic seven-story Phước Duyên pagoda is regarded as the unofficial symbol of the city,[1] and the temple has often been the subject of folk rhymes and ca dao about Huế.[2]
The temple sits on the Hà Khê hill, in the ward of Hương Long in Huế. It is around 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the Citadel of Huế constructed by the Nguyễn lords and sits on the northern bank of the Perfume River.[2][1]
