The Perfume Pagoda is one of the highlights of the Hanoi area and one of the most important religious sites in Buddhist Vietnam. The pagoda itself is situated in a huge cave built into limestone cliffs and can only be reached by boat as there are no roads. Tourists on pilgrimage to Perfume Pagoda feel that are somehow transported from the daily life to a heavenly, poetic world of clouds–water–forest–mountains–caves–and wild animals... Entering Huong Tich Cave, with its ‘tree of gold’, ‘tree of money’, and ‘Buddha’ created over hundreds of years from stalactites, it can truly be named as the most spectacular cave in Vietnam.
