They burn incense for King Tran Nhan Tong, who founded the Truc Lam Zen sect in the late 13th century after abdicating his throne and embracing the life of a Buddhist monk.
Yen Tu mountain in Quang Ninh Province is always flooded with pilgrims during the Lunar New Year.
It used to take around four hours to get to the pagoda on the summit of the 1,068-meter high mountain, but a cable car system has made the ascent easier in recent years.
The UK newspaper also recommends a lesser known, lesser spoilt nature reserve in the central province of Thanh Hoa as a viable alternative to the more popular Sa Pa town in northern Lao Cai Province. The Pu Luong reserve is a four-hour bus ride to the southwest of Hanoi.
Pu Luong’s rice fields, taking on various hues during various seasons, the lush green mountains that surround it, and the marked absence of modern conveniences, apart from a few homestay services, as well as its relative isolation, adds to the reserve’s attractiveness.
