Most tours combine the pagoda with a visit to the UNESCO-listed Citadel (Da Noi) and the Forbidden Purple City, while others include a Vietnamese cooking class or a sunset boat ride on the Perfume River.

Few visitors would think to make a connection between the Thien Mu Pagoda and the rock bandRage Against the Machine; however, the band used an image of Thich Quang Duc, the Buddhist monk who set himself alight in his car in condemnation of communism, to inspire the cover of an album.
