HONGNAM : Traditional Festivals
CHUA HUONG - Perfum Pagoda
Huong Son Area consists of Huong Pagoda and Huong Tich
Cave and is situated in Huong Son commune, My Duc
district, in Ha Tay province, almost 70 kilometres
northwest of Hanoi.
From Duc port, boats take visitors along Yen stream, letting them admire the beauty of Huong Son. Huong Son is not only famous for its natural landscapes, but also for its grottoes and striking old pagodas. For example, Thien Tru Pagoda was built at the end of 17th century. Seen from bottom up, the bell tower (8,2 metres high, 7,8 metres wide and 9,2 metres large) is shaped as a lotus flower with several petals.
