Chùa Từ Hiếu: A Serene Haven of Buddhist Tranquility

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting in the center of Hue, head towards Le Loi Street and walk along the banks of the Perfume River. Continue walking until you reach the intersection with Tran Hung Dao Street. Turn left onto Tran Hung Dao Street and keep walking straight until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the third exit onto Vo Nguyen Giap Street. Continue on this road for about 1.5 kilometers until you see signs for Chùa Từ Hiếu. Follow the signs, and the temple will be on your left.

• Cyclo

  You can hire a cyclo (a three-wheeled bicycle taxi) from your hotel or any location in Hue. Ask the driver to take you to Chùa Từ Hiếu. Provide them with the address: CHP9+HVR Duong Xuan Thuong III village, Thủy Xuân, Thành phố Huế. The ride will take approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic, and it's a great way to see the city as you travel.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from various shops around Hue. Start at the center and follow the same route as for walking. Cycle along Le Loi Street beside the Perfume River, turn left at Tran Hung Dao Street, continue to the roundabout and take the third exit onto Vo Nguyen Giap Street. Keep an eye out for signage indicating Chùa Từ Hiếu, which should be on your left after about 1.5 kilometers.

• Motorbike Taxi (Xe Ôm)

  You can also use a motorbike taxi service, known as 'xe ôm'. Simply find a motorbike taxi and tell the driver you want to go to Chùa Từ Hiếu, providing them with the address. It is a quick and efficient way to reach the temple, typically taking around 15 minutes from the city center.
