Yen Tu Mountain is one of the mountains in the Dong Trieu range, located on the border between Bac Giang and Quang Ninh provinces. Yen Tu began to become a center of Buddhism when King Tran Nhan Tong renounced the throne, donned the monk’s robe here and founded the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect.
Yen Tu Mountain is about 130 km from Hanoi, so this place has become a very popular tourist destination for 2 days 1 night or during the day in the North. In Yen Tu, there is a Spring Festival, usually held every year starting on January 10 and lasting until the end of the third lunar month. Yen Tu is extremely crowded during the festival season, so if you go on these days you will have to squeeze in and not be comfortable. If you only want to travel to Yen Tu to visit and sightsee, avoiding weekends and festival seasons is ideal.
