Start your journey to visit Yen Tu mountain which is known as “Vietnam Buddhist holy land”.

Stop by Giai Oan stream (Vindication Stream). The story about this stream is a mysterious legend. It’s said that when King Tran Nhan Tong decided to take the holy order, hundreds of imperial maids drowned themselves in the holy stream to express loyalty to him.

Then continue your tour to go to the mountain by foot or cable car to visit  Hoa Yen Pagoda, visit the small path covered by over 700 years old Pine and Bamboo trees, and from there you can see Mot Mai, Bao Sai pagodas, An Ky Sinh statue and Dong (Bronze) Pagoda on the right side.

On the way to Dong Pagoda – the highest pagoda in Yen Tu Mountain, there are more than 20,000 constructions with small and large relics. Near Hoa Yen Pagoda there is a street called Tung (pine tree) street, It is called that name because it has two rows of ancient pine trees over 700 years old.

Passing this street, tourists will see an ancient rock tower, To Tower, rising to the mountain with the name “Dragon’s Forehead”. A short distance from To Tower is Ngu Doi waterfall.

Then, we will continue to visit Tran Nhan Tong Buddha Square where holds a Golden Buddha statue weighing 138 tons. East Pagoda is 300 meters away.
