Kim Dai Pagoda – Khai Dinh Mausoleum – Hon Chen Temple – Nam Giao Esplanade
Step into Hue’s spiritual heart on a half-day journey that weaves sacred rituals, cultural heritage, and moments of personal reflection. Set against the poetic backdrop of the ancient capital, this curated pilgrimage invites you to reconnect with tradition, pay homage to the past, and seek blessings for the future.
Itinerary
Begin at Kim Dai Pagoda, where you’ll take part in morning chanting, receive Buddhist blessings, and enjoy a tranquil tea-time conversation with the head monk. Deepen your spiritual awareness by drawing a fortune stick—xin xăm—revealing insights and guidance for the year ahead.
Continue to the magnificent Khai Dinh Mausoleum, an architectural masterpiece blending Vietnamese and European elements. Here, pay tribute to the past by lighting an incense stick at the central altar, offering prayers for harmony, happiness, and good fortune.
Next, visit Hon Chen Temple, newly recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage (March 30, 2025). Nestled on the lush banks of the Perfume River, this sacred site honors both Champa and Vietnamese deities through royal ceremonies and folk traditions. Absorb its mystical energy, admire the scenic setting, and seek divine blessings for health, protection, and prosperity.
Conclude your journey at the historic Nam Giao Esplanade, the ceremonial site where Nguyễn Emperors once held Lễ tế trời đất—rituals dedicated to Heaven and Earth. These sacred rites, revived in recent years, are now presided over by high-ranking dignitaries offering prayers for national peace and the people’s well-being (Quốc thái dân an). Join this profound tradition by lighting incense and offering your own prayers for personal success, happiness, and a harmonious future.
