Huong Pagoda is a religious site as well as being a great sight-seeing spot in Viet Nam. It is
situated in Huong Son Commune, My Due District, Ha Noi. It is a vast complex of Buddhist temples
and shrines, including Den Trinh (Presentation Shrine) and Thien Tru (Heaven Kitchen) Pagoda, in
the limestone Huong Tich mountains. The centre of this complex is the Perfume Temple, also called
Chua Trong (Inner Temple), located in Huong Tich Cavern. It is thought that the first temple was
built on the current site of Thien Tru in the 15th century during the reign of Le Thanh Tong. Over
the years some of its structures which were in ruins have been restored or replaced.
Many Vietnamese works of literature, both old and modern, have made Huong Pagoda their
focus. It has also provided backdrops for many famous paintings. Its beauty has been used as a
theme of many famous songs and a topic of lyric poetry. Nowadays during its festival (from the
middle of January to the middle of March on the lunar calendar), Huong Pagoda attracts large
numbers of pilgrims from all over Viet Nam.
