Meridian Gate; Thiên Mụ Pagoda; Trường Tiền Bridge; Mount Ngự Bình; lush central Vietnamese flora; Nguyễn Dynasty
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the tranquil waters of the Perfume River toward the seven-tiered tower of Thiên Mụ Pagoda nestled among riverside pines, or looking across the lotus-filled moat toward the Meridian Gate, showing frangipani blossoms and willow fronds in the foreground, the calm river waters, wooden dragon boat, and pagoda tower in the middle-ground, and the gentle ridge of Mount Ngự Bình fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick pine groves around Thiên Mụ Pagoda, weeping willows along the river, and lotus pads covering the citadel moats.
