One-day Perfume Pagoda Tour



Highlights of the journey
Perfume Pagoda is located in Huong Son Commune, My Duc District, Hanoi City.

Yen Stream, with thousands of boats ferrying tourists along its waters, leads to the main entrance of the historical site. Visiting Perfume Pagoda, you will not only admire the picturesque natural scenery but also have the opportunity to experience the sacred atmosphere and offer incense at shrines, Buddhist temples, and ancient communal houses to pray for yourself, your family, and loved ones.
