Yen Tu Mountain is a high mountain in the Dong Trieu Mountains in northeastern Vietnam. The mountain is located in Thuong Yen Commune, Uong Bi City, Quang Ninh Province. Being a natural landscape, Yen Tu still preserves many historic sites with the name "land of Buddhism in Vietnam". At the top of the mountain there is often cloud cover so the day before is called Baiyun Mountain.

On May 17, 2008, Yen Tu and Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh) together with Bai Dinh Pagoda in Hoa Lu ancient capital (Ninh Binh) are the places of Vietnam selected as the Buddhist vestiges for the great Attendance ceremony in the world for the first time in Vietnam to visit, worship.

By modern cable car over the distance of over 1.2 km up to the height of 450 m near Hoa Yen Pagoda. This way, you can see the panorama of Yen Tu mountain from the high with the trees, hundreds of years old mixed in the green trees and breathe fresh air.

Along the footpath over 6 km has been strengthened by thousands of folding stone steps, wading through the path through the vast grass, under the forest canopy, pine forest.

Our journey:

Once was Yen Tu that I can not forget that anniversary. On a weekend we went together about saddle. We boarded the passenger car. Today, the car carrying us to Quang Ninh is crowded and everyone seems to have their own fun. Someone is going to play, some people go home. The 5 of us together on Yen Tu.

This is my first time to Yen Tu, although my hometown in Quang Ninh as well as many times passing but I have never climbed in Yen Tu. This time is a real experience. A visit to Yen Tu starts at the Giai Oan stream with a green stone bridge linking the two banks of the stream. The bridge is 10 m long, architecturally not sophisticated, but the ancient beauty, solid. The ancient transmission King Tran Nhan Tong ceded the throne to his son Tran Anh Tong and then to the Buddha. King Nhan Tong has a lot of supply and fine women. They advised him to return to the palace but not to have sown himself to the stream of suicide. King of Compassion for them should set up a temple to promote uan, from which the stream is named Giai Oan.

Along the way, there are some attractions such as An Thap Pagoda, Bao Mot Pagoda, Yen Ky Sinh stone statue, Ban Vang Pagoda, Golden Chess Resort, Thac Vang Waterfall, Silver Waterfall. Truc Lam Yen Tu monastery built on the vestiges of Lan Pagoda that Dieu Ngu Giac Hoang Tran Nhan Tong lectured beings. This is the largest monastery in Vietnam.

After 2 hours of climbing and we were tired and rebuilt for lunch.

come back again with more than your clock.
Speaking of Yen Tu, it is impossible not to mention the Dong Pagoda - the largest bronze temple in Asia. According to the head of the pagoda Thich Thanh Quyet, the name of the temple is Thien Truc (Thien Truc Pagoda). This is because the pagoda is made entirely of copper. The pagoda is located on the highest point of Yen Tu Mountain, at an altitude of 1,068m above sea level built from the Le (980-1009). Behind the pagoda is a deep pool with rocky cliffs, in the territory of Bac Giang province. This is a small bronze Buddha-like temple, a person who did not just make room for the Buddhist burned incense at this place.

The dew drops on the hair, stained on the small skinny shoulders. Watching from the top of the Dong Pagoda looks down as clouds are floating in the air. As I was walking in the clouds, a sense of peace and relief came from the weariness of climbing and seemed to have more strength and power. We also do what other people do, also take the currency and lightly massage the cube of Dong Pagoda and pray for the good luck for you, your family and friends. The journey continued when everyone was on Dong Pagoda and we all went down the mountain. Although everyone was tired from the morning to now is also more than an hour, but on everyone's lips is a fresh smile. We finally reached the foot of the mountain. People also took souvenir photos along the way up Dong Pagoda and down the mountain. Now we continue to choose meaningful gifts for relatives, friends. After selecting the souvenir items. We brought together where we came from. The house of a friend in the group. Then go eat together, do more interesting things. It was a really meaningful trip and brought a lot of emotions in me. I have known Yen Tu so, Yen Tu is beautiful and quiet amidst the sky filled with scenes, the Buddha statue made the space Yen Tu open to attract tourists here.

A trip finally ended, a great day with my friends.

It is difficult to express all the beauty of poetic beauty of the scene here. Yen Tu is built the most beautiful of the sky, mountains and the sacred thousand years of Buddha land. That also makes Yen Tu difference is not the same anywhere.

This is my feeling. thank you steemit.
