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.
