How are you today? Do you travel anywhere on your weekend?
Leaving aside the stories about my grassy countryside, today I would like to introduce to you a famous place with immense pine forest in Hue city. That place is Thien An Hill.
Let explore this beautiful place with my reluctant photography day
THIEN AN HILL
Thien An Hill is also known as a miniature paradise in Hue city, it is also famous as a great place to live virtual because the landscape here is very poetic but also wild. Thien An hill has vast pine forests, beautiful winding roads along chilly weather. The shimmering sunlight peeking through the leaves makes photography lovers unable to come here, but there are less than 100 photos in the camera.
Geographical location
Thien An Hill is located in Thuy Bang commune, Huong Thuy District, Thua Thien - Hue province, only about 10km from the city center. Thien An Hill is located on the route to King Khai Dinh's mausoleum, so it is extremely easy to find.
My reviews:
Thien An Hill is just like its name, it is really peaceful, the ancient wild pine forest stretches for a long beautiful curved road.
Young people like to come here to camp, sing, and play as if they are immersed in nature. When you come here, you will not be surprised by the beautiful young women wearing traditional ao dai and hue hats, bearing bold colors, light and gentle beauty imbued with the identity of Vietnamese women.
Thien An monastery
This monastery is a Catholic monastery with Asian architecture and has a long history. Because it is located at the highest point on the hill, the climate here is extremely cool mixed with a little chilly. Thien An Monastery is surrounded by old, solid, and artistic stone walls. Inside there is a church for parishioners to go to Mass, I was very lucky to stay here for a week, to live in the same stone scene as in the past. Inside the monastery, there is also a church located deep in the basement for the monks to go to Mass. The monks here are men, they vow to stay in this place until they return to the Lord. they dedicate their lives to prayer. They really are great people.
The monastery that appears before your eyes is a very peaceful, somewhat old, and quiet scene. The architecture of this place includes: in the middle is a church, on the right is a retreat house, on the left is a bell tower with 7 floors, surrounded by a lot of trees. Standing at the top of the Monastery tower, you will admire a vast green of pine hills up to 60 hectares wide and shrink Hue city into sight.
Thuy Tien Lake
If you like the mysterious atmosphere, after Thien An Monastery, there is an abandoned water park a few years ago, but now it has become the most attractive place to visit when coming to Hue.
Thuy Tien Lake-Water Park was built in 2004, is a massive project including the aquarium, music stage, water park, yacht on the lake, restaurant, etc. However, in 2011 member is no longer in operation. Over time, this place has become an interesting discovery point for those who love thrilling travel destinations with fascinating and mysterious stories. The old painted walls, covered with moss will also make your photos better than ever. The Thuy Tien lake is shaped like a dragon because it is influenced by the art of ancient times in Hue. In the past, the kings here built the capital, and they loved the image of the dragon, the dragon was symbolic of the prosperity and development of the country, so the dragon motif became popular and typical for the works here.
Selfie
Around Thien An Hill, there are also interesting places to take photos, there are cafes around with vibrant colors, I see it as flowers in the middle of the forest. I and my aunt had great photos here.
Hue city is famous for its serenity, tranquility, and peace, so the tourist destinations here often have a simple, ancient, and somewhat wild beauty. Thien An Hill is an extremely famous place with the peace of the landscape as well as the harmonious climate like a small paradise in the heart of the city. Let's enjoy the beauty that nature gives us.
