Perfume Pagoda, Vietnam

Dear friends,

Since 3 days we have wonderful weather in Hanoi. Its dry, no humidity and temperatures of 25 C. So I decided to make a day trip to the wonderful Perfume Pagoda about 60 km south of Hanoi.
Its just unbelivable how dramaticly the landscape has changed.
Till there the country is completly flat. The only thing you
can see are flooded paddy fields and some villages in between. And then suddenly those markable limestone mountains with its forest, rivers and lakes.
Anyhow, beside the gorgeous landscape it was the breathtaking buddhist pilgrimige path I walked alone in the mountains with several temples and pagodas.
One of the most impressive temple complexes I have seen so far was the Thien Tru Pagoda.
So different again in its arcitecture in comparison to the pagodas of Sri Lanka or Thailand.
I will add some photos on this blog. Enjoy!
