Hương Tích Caves (Động Hương Tích)


The way from the cave’s mouth to the insider has 120 anti-plastered rocky footsteps. There are forest trees at two sides greeting visitors with their warm welcome. According to Feng Shui theory, Hương Tích Cave (Đông Hương Tích) is the mouth of a big Dragon, Dun Gao Mountain is the dragon’s tongue and it is one of Vietnam Popular Destinations. In the old days, people who wanted to go from the cave’s mouth to the cave’s ground must walk on two parallel ironwood bridges, named “White Lotus Bridge” in the deep cave, cross a lotus pond.

According to Phan Huy Chu's geographic book, "Huong Tich Mountain is on the west of Tuyet Son Mountain, along the flume and going up stream, after climbing up for many layers of the mountain we will reach the cavern. The nature's scene here is like being made by the holy being, very strangely and skillfully, thus it is the most beautiful cavern in the Southern Sea. It is said that the Bodhisattva took control of this pagoda with the sacred staff. Each spring, people from everywhere come here to pray and show their worship. It is the main reason why it becomes one of Vietnam Popular Destinations.

Huong Tich Mountain is on the height of more than 900 meters. The entrance was made manually in the early time by local residents of Yen Vi village. Though the way was still bendy and dipped, it is much easier for visitors to walk on.
The beauty of Huong Tich Mountain also includes the “rocky cloud ladder” road. More than 2000-meter road from Tro wharf (Suoi wharf also) is neither too far nor too high, but still it troubles the newcomers. It’s not easy at all to get into Buddha’s place if from the bottom of your heart you don’t want to get there.

Láng Pagoda (Chùa Láng)


The Láng Festival starts on March 7 (lunar year) that is the beginning of the dry season, and is in fact a common festival of many villages located on both banks of the Tô Lịch River. Let discover Láng Pagoda (Chùa Láng) which one of more Vietnam Popular Destinations.

 
lang-pagoda-chua-lang
 
Similar with other Vietnam Popular Destinations, this place has one legendary story. The pagoda is also connected with Monk Từ Lộ, alias Từ Đạo Hạnh. Classical history books say that Từ Lộ was a Buddhist monk who fed a religious life in a pagoda in Thầy Mountain (also called Phật Tích or Sài Sơn Mountain, Quốc Oai District, Hà Nội), and also practiced magic.

On his death (1116), he reincarnated himself as Dương Hoán, the son of the King’s brother. Later, Dương Hoán became King Lý Thần Tông (1116-38).  Từ Đạo Hạnh passed away in June, 1116 (lunar year) but the Lang Festival, held in his honor, takes place in March, presumably because he was born on March 7, and also to provide an opportunity for merry-making to young men and women during the fair, dry Spring weather.

 
lang-pagoda-chua-lang
 
Local legends add some strange and mythical details about the life of Từ Đạo Hạnh: Từ Đạo Hạnh’s father, Từ Vinh, was a local inhabitant of Láng area, while his mother hailed from a village on the other bank of the river (now Yên Hòa Village, alias Giấy Village).
 
lang-pagoda-chua-lang
 
Being fond of beautiful women, Từ Vinh fell in love with the wife of Marquis Diên Thành Hầu of Vòng Village. He therefore used magic to make himself invisible and sneak into the lady’s room and tease her. The lady, who felt that at night something heavy was weighing on her belly, notified her husband of her apprehensions. Her husband sought the assistance of Magician Đại Điên. Đại Điên instructed the young lady to put a long piece of colored thread on her belly and to immediately tie it up when she felt something weighing heavily on her.
