huong river - ngu mountain |
|
The Perfume river, Huong Giang in Vietnamese, has two main sources in the Truong Son
mountains: the Ta Trach and Huu Trach rivers. It is 30 km long and
features and extremely slow current as the water is at almost the
same level as the sea.
|
The river runs through the village of Kim
Long, Nguyet Bieu, Vy Da, Dong Ba, Gia Hoi and Bao Vinh. The view on
both sides is magnificent with the citadel, gardens, pagodas, towers
and temples; their reflection on the water makes the river even more
poetic.
Many locals think that Hue has such peaceful, gentle and tranquil
landscapes because of the Perfume river. Ngu Binh mountain's
imposing and symmetrical outline is surrounded by Ta Bat Son and Huu
Bat Son mountains. During the Nguyen Dynasty, emperor Gia Long built
the capital of Hue next to Ngu Binh to use it as a shield. |
|
Hue's landscape is magnificent surrounded with the Perfume (Huong)
river and Ngu Binh mountain. The oil capital is even sometimes
called Huong-Ngu city. |
