The Mystical Sanctuary of Yen Tu
Perched in the heart of the mysterious mists of northeastern Vietnam, Yen Tu Mountain stands as a sentinel of Vietnamese history and spirituality. Rising to over 1,000 meters, this region of Quang Ninh province is not only a natural wonder; it is also the beating heart of Vietnamese Zen Buddhism, a practice which was established there in the 13th century by Emperor Tràn Nhân Tông.
After his significant military victories, this unique sovereign chose to renounce his throne to devote himself to monastic life, founding the Trúc Lâm school of Buddhism. Today, this mountain remains a place of intense pilgrimage, where devotees and peace seekers climb the steep slopes in a journey that symbolically represents their own spiritual path.
