Mount Yen Tu, Buddhist mountain complex in Quang Ninh, Vietnam
Mount Yen Tu rises to 1,068 meters, featuring a 6-kilometer trail through forests and numerous temples leading to Dong Pagoda at its summit.
King Tran Nhan Tong established the Truc Lam Zen sect on this mountain in 1293 after abdicating his throne to become a Buddhist monk.
The mountain houses an estimated 800 pagodas and temples across its slopes, making it a central location for Buddhist practices in Vietnam.
Visitors can reach the summit either through a 6-hour hike on stone steps or by taking a cable car system that extends 1.2 kilometers.
Two 700-year-old frangipani trees stand at Hoa Yen Pagoda, located at 534 meters elevation within the mountain complex.
