Description

Private Tour: Ba Vang Pagoda Explore Ba Vang Pagoda, a spiritual and historical monument in Quang Ninh Province. Originally built during the Tran Dynasty (13th century), the pagoda has undergone various renovations and expansions, with significant developments in the late 20th century. Dedicated to Amitabha Buddha and other Buddhist deities, Ba Vang Pagoda is a significant Buddhist site in Vietnam. It serves as a center for religious ceremonies, meditation, and Buddhist teachings, holding a deep spiritual connection with the locals. Admire the Statue of Amitabha Buddha, a 10-meter-tall statue symbolizing compassion, mercy, and enlightenment. Positioned at the entrance, it welcomes visitors with a serene and peaceful aura, making it a must-visit spot for prayer and reflection. Visit the Giant Well, a sacred attraction near the main courtyard. Believed to possess mystical properties, the well is a place where devotees gather for traditional purification rituals. Many visitors stop by to perform prayers, wash their hands, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. Private Tour: Ha Noi: Yen Tu Mountain - UNESCO Cultural Heritage Discover the spiritual heart of Vietnamese Buddhism on a full-day guided journey to Yen Tu Mountain, newly recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.

Begin your day with hotel pickup in Hanoi Old Quarter and relax on a scenic drive through the countryside toward Quang Ninh Province. Upon arrival, take a cable car ride (ticket not included) high above lush forests and mountain valleys, enjoying sweeping views as you ascend. Visit the historic Hoa Yen Pagoda, located 500 meters above sea level. Learn the story of King Trần Nhân Tông, who left the throne to establish the Trúc Lâm Zen Buddhist tradition. Explore mountain pathways, meditation houses, and tranquil viewpoints before enjoying a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. After lunchtime, enjoy free time to take photos, walk forest trails, or simply appreciate the peaceful mountain atmosphere. Descend by cable car (optional) and meet your driver for the return journey. You will then travel back by car.
