What you can expect

Option: Private Tour Yen Phu Pagoda

Explore the Yen Phu Pagoda, one of the oldest and most ancient pagodas in Vietnamese Buddhism. Learn about its rich history, dating back to the time of the Trung Sisters, and its role as a gathering place for the Tay Son army in 1789.

Discover the pagoda's significance during the resistance war against the French, when it served as a hiding place for revolutionary cadres and soldiers. Admire the architecture, including a garden of tomb towers and three main buildings.

See precious relics like the Hong Phuc 1572 ancestral tablet, royal decrees, and historical plaques. Learn about the pagoda's honours, including the First-Class Resistance Medal in 1954 and the National Historical Site certificate in 1988.

If you visit during the festival on the 5th, 6th, and 7th lunar month, witness the Yen Phu village festival, featuring a parade from the communal house to the tomb of the founder, Ms. Phuong Dung, and back to the pagoda.

Option: Private Tour the Tam Chuc largest pagoda complex in the world and Boat Cruise Tour

Discover the Tam Chuc Pagoda Complex, the largest pagoda complex in the world. Located in Ba Sao Town, Kim Bang District, Ha Nam Province, this site is an attractive destination for many visitors and Buddhist followers.

Admire the pagoda’s unique location, with its back leaning on the mountain and face overlooking the lake, creating a poetic scenery like a fairyland. Learn about the legend of “Tien Luc Nhac - Hau That Tinh” meaning “Six music bells in front – Seven stars after”.

Explore the current Tam Chuc Pagoda Complex, built on the foundation of the ancient Tam Chuc Pagoda and inaugurated in May 2019. The pagoda overlooks Tam Chuc Lake (also known as Luc Nhac Lake), with constructions such as the interior Tam Quan (Three-entrance) Gate, Sutra Pillar Garden, Quan Am (Kwan Yin) Temple, Phap Chu Temple, Tam The Temple, and Ngoc (Ruby) Pagoda.

Admire the impressive architectural works that blend seamlessly with the breathtaking natural landscapes. The complex was constructed by many skilled Vietnamese and foreign artisans, including craftsmen of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
