Yên Tử: Journey to the Sacred Peak
Yên Tử Mountain, located in the Uông Bí district of Quảng Ninh province, Vietnam, is a site of significant natural beauty and spiritual importance.
Often referred to as the "cradle of Vietnamese Buddhism", Yên Tử Mountain is most renowned for its association with the Trúc Lâm Zen Buddhist sect. Its history dates back to the 13th century when King Trần Nhân Tông abdicated his throne to become a monk and establish this unique Vietnamese Buddhist tradition. He retreated to Yên Tử Mountain, building numerous temples and pagodas, making it a central pilgrimage site for Vietnamese Buddhists.
