Then, we arrive at Perfume Pagoda and walk or travel by electric vehicle to the Yen wharf to get on local boat. The boat will go travel along the Yen stream and you can enjoy the beautiful landscapes.

The tour guide will help you understand more about this landscape. Visit the Thien Tru Pagoda to rest and if you wish, participate in a Buddhist prayer. The Thien Tru Pagoda was built in the 18th century during the King Le Thanh Tong dynasty. Thien Tru means 'a heaven kitchen,' a name given by locals in this region who thought the rock formations in this area look like chefs busily working in the kitchen. Head back to the Yen wharf and return by bus to Hanoi. Arrive back in Hanoi and get dropped off at your hotel in the Old Quarter of Hanoi.
