Hue Day tour Part 1 - Thien Mu Pagoda

Not gonna write much for this and the next 4 parts...take it as finally less rambling ;)

Right: Dragon boats, all gonna head towards Thien Mu Pagoda for tourist to soak in the view from the river.

About half hour later, peeking above tree tops was the Thien Mu Pagoda (left photo)
