Tourists near and far come to this smoky land to enjoy the fresh air and the spring air exposed, to forget all the troubles of everyday life, to relax their hearts at the Buddha's door and remain calm in their minds.
From Giai Oan stream, stepping over a 10m long stone bridge, the stone road leads us to the forests. The cable car routes operate at full capacity with a large number of people waiting. The steps to the sacred top become empty, clearer and more spacious, but the flow of people is still constantly moving, especially on the first days of the year, everyone wants to come to this place, light incense, make vows to the Buddha, and pray for a peaceful year.

The scenery of Yen Tu changes with bends, opening up countless small trails. The pagodas peeked out behind the trees, the smell of deep incense, the smell of rotten grass, the smell of damp rain and the cool fresh air lurking. The higher you go, the more fog surrounds the passers-by. Through the moss-covered steps, the road sometimes turns through a pine forest, where the roots of the trees compete to reach out on the brick floor. The primeval forests, the green lungs of Mother Nature stand tall, covering the umbrella for the shady road.

Fragrant ancient flower trees welcome the group of people to Hoa Yen. From here, the landscape opens up extremely beautifully, the mountains are overlapping and dewy. The first cable car stops here for visitors to visit this place before coming to the next stage at Mot Mai Pagoda. Climbing Yen Tu without visiting Hua Yen is indeed flawed. Behind Hoa Yen Pagoda is the now ruined Pho Da Guanyin Bodhisattva Pagoda. Nearby is the Hue Quang tower garden with 97 towers made of brick or embankment next to each other to form a complex.
The higher you go, the colder the sky is with a cloudy cloud, mixed in the landscape and trees. A strange patch of ghostly colors and a strange man. The steps are hidden in the mist, making the steps like walking on the clouds floating, making the walker feel like he is entering a floating place. I lightly took my steps, climbed the first stone steps to the top of Dong Pagoda. From this place there are no more stone steps, the road is steep cliffs. For some reason, when he came here, no one told him to stop laughing loudly. The contemplative space makes everything around them share the same solemn atmosphere. The road to Dong Pagoda is only more than 1km long, but it is the most arduous part of the whole pilgrimage, as a final test for Buddhists before reaching the sacred peak.
