huong pagoda (perfume pagoda)

The Huong Pagoda (Perfume Pagoda) is a complex of pagodas set amidst mountains, forests, lakes and caves, surrounded by vast green rice-growing plains, about 75 km from Southwest of Hanoi.

A boat ride on the Yen Vi Stream through the green paddies to the mountain where the pagodas is located is interesting. The main pagoda is situated on the top of a mountain.

Many people believe that this is a place where the deities purify souls, cure sufferings, and grant offspring to childless families.

Going to the Huong Pagoda must be a good chance of boating, hiking and relaxation. Especially, every year the Huong Pagoda Festival taking place in spring attracts tens of thousands of tourists and pilgrims coming to implore the spirits for good luck, wealth, and happiness, and also to admire the beautiful landscapes of the area. The festival takes place for two months from 15th of the first lunar month to the 15th of the 3rd lunar month.
Visitors will also find the remains of the citadel and many vestiges here.
