Located in My Duc district, Hanoi, about 70 km southwest of Hanoi capital city, Huong (Perfume) Pagoda is a cultural-religious complex, consisting of Huong Tich Cavern, which was described in 1770 by Lord Trinh Sam as the most beautiful cave in the country.
Local people’s daily activities along Yen stream
The Huong Pagoda Festival, which is held annually from the sixth day of the lunar new year to late in the third lunar month, is a famous religious event that has attracted a large number of visitors.
However, photographers and people who love wild and peaceful beauty, often come here in late November and early December, to capture the breath-taking moment of water lilies in full bloom. The magnificent purple water lilies along the Yen stream on the way to Huong Pagoda create a wonderful natural picture.

Yen stream, which is 4 km long and flows into Day river, is the only waterway leading to the Huong Pagoda.
