Perfume Pagoda, Buddhist temple complex in Huong Son Mountains, Vietnam.
The Perfume Pagoda extends across limestone mountains, featuring multiple temples, shrines, and the central Huong Tich Cave within natural formations.
The temple complex dates from the 15th century during Le Thanh Tong's reign, with legends suggesting its discovery by a monk over 2000 years earlier.
Each spring, thousands of Vietnamese pilgrims travel to the temples to participate in ceremonies, seeking blessings for health and prosperity.
Visitors reach the complex through a combination of boat rides along Yen Stream and hiking paths, with guided tours available from February through March.
The Huong Tich Cave contains naturally formed stalactites and stalagmites that locals believe hold specific powers for granting wishes and blessings.
