Tam Chuc Pagoda is currently one of the most prominent spiritual tourist destinations in Northern Vietnam and is also a place chosen by many tourists for weekend trips near Hanoi.
Unlike many traditional pagodas, Tam Chuc possesses a very large space with lakes, rocky mountains and temples located quite far apart. Therefore, most tourists coming here often use:
-
yacht
-
electric vehicle
-
sightseeing combo
for a more comfortable trip instead of walking the entire campus.
According to practical experience from Ninh Binh Booking, sitting on a boat on Tam Chuc Lake in the early morning or late afternoon is one of the most worth trying experiences when coming here.
