Yen Tu is not only famous for the beautiful and majestic scenery of the over 700-year-old forest but also contains profound cultural values during the Tran dynasty when King Tran Nhan Tong (1258 - 1308) abandoned the throne to practice Buddism in the mountain of Yen Tu. He founded the Truc Lam Yen Tu meditation style with Vietnamese national identity. (Photo: VOV)

Venerable Thich Dao Hien said: “In the spring and autumn, Vietnamese people have a custom of going to pagodas because the weather is more pleasing in these seasons.

Unlike the hustle and bustle in the spring festivals, Yen Tu turns solemn and idle in autumn. The sound of the peaceful prayers coming from the temples also brings peaceful feelings. (Photo: VOV)

The teachings that King Tran Nhan Tong founded many years ago have been associated with many values that UNESCO is promoting, which are the values of peace, humanity and tolerance."- Mr. Michael Croft expressed.

Yen Tu is currently different compared to itself many years ago. The place has become monumental, large in scale, and well-invested to develop tourism.
