Hanoi’s authorities and residents will protect and promote the values of Huong pagoda to make it an attractive tourist destination, and a place to learn about history, culture, and environmental protection.”
The Huong Son complex built in the 15th century consists of Buddhist pagodas, caves, and temples. The site also receives acclaims for its ecosystem, landscape, and history.
