The three-month Huong Pagoda Festival, the longest of its kind in Vietnam, opened in Huong Son commune, Hanoi’s outlying district of My Duc, on January 27 (the sixth day of the lunar new year). Lasting until April 23 (the fourth day of the third lunar month), the event will see new features, including online tickets and electric cars around the site to serve visitors. Going to Huong Pagoda is a spiritual journey to the Buddhist Land – where the Goddess of Mercy leads a religious life. Visitors have sightseeing trips to pagodas, temples and caves which are the main attractions at the Huong pagoda festival, and join ceremonies to ask for favours from Lord Buddha.
