Full description
Begin your day with pickup from one of two meeting points in Hanoi. Board a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle and travel to Huong Pagoda, with a 20-minute rest stop along the way.
Upon arrival at Huong Pagoda Pier, board a traditional boat and cruise along Yen Stream. Admire the spectacular limestone mountains, including Leo Fu Mountain and Raspberry Mountain, and pass over the famous Hoi Bridge, one of the most picturesque landmarks in the Perfume Pagoda area.
Visit Thien Tru Pagoda, where you can take part in the Buddha worship ceremony. Located at the foot of Lao Mountain, the pagoda was built during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1460–1497) and remains one of the most important temples in the Perfume Pagoda complex.
Stop for lunch at a local restaurant and enjoy a selection of regional specialties.

After your visit, take the cable car back down the mountain and board the boat for the return journey to the pier.
