Details
The Perfume Pagoda is actually a group of temples and caves in the rocks of the limestone mountain Huong Tich Son (Mount of Fragrances). The pagoda is located in Hoa Binh province, in My Duc district, 60 km southwest of Hanoi. Most of the cave temples were built in the 17th century. It is considered as one of the most important complexes of temples in Vietnam.The first temple is believed to have been built here in the 15th century, although legend states that the site was actually discovered more than 2,000 years ago by a Buddhist monk who meditated nearby. The foothills of the mountains are an area of great natural and spiritual beauty filled with streams, tropical plants and temples.There are many pagodas to visit, each with a different shrine, most of which are Buddhist, although one or two are animist. The perfume pagoda attracts pilgrims and tourists seeking happiness from the stalagmites and stalactites in the cave who are named based on the individual blessing they can bestow.
