A chain of Temples and Pagodas located far away
from habitants, Perfume pagoda including more than twenty pagodas that is thought as the
center of Buddhism in the Northern. Come to the Pagoda, you will find the real Peace of
Nature and the Peace of Mind. The main pagoda, Perfume Pagoda, was placed inside a huge,
mysterious cave which has earned the name as "The first cave under the Southern
sky".
Perfume Pagoda is regarded as Vietnam’s Buddhist Center,
located 60km from Hanoi, all access roads sweep through impressive
limestone formations and lush rice fields. From the road, Tourists
must take a rustic boat up the Yen stream to the Pagoda, a peaceful
way to travel in anybody’s book, provided the boat owner is not
trying to scam you for every penny you have. |

From the
boat, you must then walk 3km up an extremely steep hill to the
grotto’s entrance, a demanding task for the unfit and unwell. The
Huong Tich grotto, described by Lord Trinh Sam as the “Cradle of
Buddhist in Vietnam” has attracted both young and old for around
3000 years, the biggest Festival in ASEAN countries is take place
here every year from January to March.
