The western slope of the Yen Tu range, with its temples, a cable car up to Dong Pagoda, and the Buddhist path of Buddha-King Tran Nhan Tong.

Set on the western slope of the Yen Tu range in Bac Giang, the Tay Yen Tu spiritual tourism site is a gateway to the Buddhist realm amid old primeval forest. This is the very path along which Buddha-King Tran Nhan Tong and the Zen masters of old spread the Dharma, building a system of temples and stupas along the mountainside. Visitors take the cable car over bamboo forests, streams and waterfalls to reach the sacred Upper Pagoda and Dong Pagoda atop the holy peak. The newly restored Lower and Middle Pagodas stand majestic amid grand nature. On a pilgrimage to Tay Yen Tu, the heart settles amid the temple bells and drifting mountain clouds.
