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
