What to visit in Perfume Pagoda? 

Huong Pagoda is a famous complex of relics, landscapes including a system of caves, temples, pagodas mixed with mountains, flowers and trees. 

According to a Buddha legend, Huong Tich cave was the place that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva got enlightenment after 9 years of practicing. 

Then in Le Thanh Tong’s reign (the 15th century), three monks found Huong Tich cave and erected Thao am Thien Tru outside the cave. Since then Huong Tich has been called the inner pagoda, Thien Tru has been called the outer pagoda. People also took a common name for the whole area was Huong Pagoda (Perfume Pagoda). 

Therefore, going to the Huong pagoda synonymous with visiting the whole area in the Huong Son mountain.

Yen Stream

Yen Stream, about 4 km in length, is the unique way to admire the scenery of Huong Pagoda so that during the Huong Pagoda Festival, boats and boats crowd up and down the whole stream, which makes it difficult for visitors to fully enjoy the scenery on this stream. 

It is much more favorable to take a trip in autumn. The period from September to November is titled "the blooming season of water" when purple-pink lilies cover the stream capturing anyone's gaze. 

Den Trinh (Trinh Temple)

The first stop in Perfume Pagoda’s journey is Trinh Temple, also known as Ngu Nhac Linh Tu. It is a small temple on the right of the Yen stream, about 500m away from Duc wharf. 

The mountain guards protecting the pagoda are worshiped inside. Nobody comes to the pagoda skipping to present and report to them first.

Thien Tru Pagoda

After over 1-hour on stream, your boat will dock Tro wharf then it will take you about 40 minutes walking to reach Thien Tru Pagoda.

This giant pagoda is built on the shelf of Lao Mountain in the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1460 - 1497).

According to some records, in the 15th century, the King saw astronomy and found that it was in the celestial star so he named the valley and built a pagoda called Thien Tru (Heaven Kitchen). 

Tien Son Cave

From Thien Tru, we turn right to Tien Son cave, in which five stone statues of white stone illuminated like jewels. Stalactites fall founding abundant shapes that emit humming sounds like bell, drum, gong when knocking on.

Getting out of Tien Pagoda, you will meet the Giai Oan Pagoda and the Giai Oan Stream. On the left of the pagoda, there is a temple, Tuyet Quynh Cave and Thanh Tri natural well, which is transparent and never runs out.

A legend says that Avalokitesvara had bathed here to remove the dust before entering the Buddha realm. 

Following the bumpy stone road, you will catch sight of Cua Vong temple worshiping Princess of the Forest, the ruler of the Huong Son area.

Huong Tich Cave

Huong Tich cave, more than 2000 meters from Tro wharf, at the altitude of 390m, is the center, the most important spiritual site of the Huong pagoda complex. It is believed that the place that Avalokitesvara got enlightenment.

Climbing up many layers of mountains, it is so exhilarating when arriving at the cave. From the gate down, there are 120 steps of bare stone with trees soaring like righteous hearts two sides. The entrance looks like a dragon opening his mouth. 

In March of 1770, Lord Trinh Sam once visited and titled the cave "The most beautiful cave”. Inside, there is a bluestone statue of Avalokitesvara from the 18th century together with thousands of undulating stalactites carrying idyllic names such as Mother’s Breasts, Flower of Disturbance, Dune of Rice, Dune of Coin, Golden Tree, Silver Tree, etc.

From Thien Tru Pagoda, Perfume Pagoda offers tourists cable cars to easily approach Huong Tich Cave. If you prefer sporty activities, climbing up stone steps will help you enjoy completely the majestic view and fresh atmosphere here.

Long Van Pagoda – Long Van Cave – Sung Sam Cave

After the ceremony at Trinh Temple – the first stop from Duc Waft, if you turn right, you will go to Huong Tich cave; if you turn left, you will go to Long Van Pagoda and Long Van Cave. 

These pagoda and cave are on the mountainside among the green trees. After visiting Long Van Cave, tourists will continue to Sung Sam cave to visit and pray.
