Yen Tu Mountain, Yen Tu, Quang Ninh
Sacred forested peak and pilgrimage trail to a bronze mountaintop pagoda founded by a monk-king.
This guide to Yen Tu Mountain in Ha Long follows King Tran Nhan Tong, who after defeating Kublai Khan's armies twice, gave up his throne and walked barefoot into these forests to become a monk in 1295. It traces the Zen school he founded here and the two disciples, Phap Loa and Huyen Quang, who carried it forward. Listen along the pine-lined path above Giai Oan stream as you climb.
