Your journey begins with a scenic cable car ride to Hoa Yen Pagoda, located at an elevation of 534 meters. Here, you can marvel at two magnificent 700-year-old frangipani trees.

After soaking in the beauty, you will climb the steps to reach Dong Pagoda, perched majestically at the summit of the mountain, standing tall at 1,068 meters. The stunning landscape of Yen Tu combines the grandeur of its mountain ranges with the tranquil serenity of its ancient pagodas and shrines, providing a perfect backdrop for reflection.
