Introduction
Thien Mu Pagoda, as one of the famous temples in Vietnam, is believed to be the location of the Nguyen Dynasty's dragon veins. Originally a site of the Cham people's temple, it was rebuilt after 1600 and became a prestigious temple of the Gia Long Dynasty and the Nguyen Dynasty. However, it has suffered damages from typhoons and wars, and most of the current buildings were constructed after the Thieu Tri period. The Yong Sheng and Zheng Zhi stone steles at the entrance document the renovation process, and the 2-ton bronze bell, cast in 1701, was dedicated to the ruler of Gia Dinh, Nguyen Phuc Chu. It is said that the sound of the bell could reach the imperial palace, making it one of the twenty famous scenes of the capital during the Thieu Tri period. Additionally, the seven-story Phuoc Duyen Tower at the entrance of the temple was also built during the reign of Emperor Thieu Tri and has become a symbol of Hue.
