Every time he returns to Vietnam with his family, Mr. Bui Duc Huy, who is living and working in Germany, spends a few days resting at the 5-star Legacy Yen Tu resort.
Amidst the sacred Yen Tu, the space is quiet, the air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, there is a building that is a resort but exceeds the scope of a resort because of its unique architecture, imbued with the philosophy of the ancients.
The architecture of the project is beautiful to every detail, and almost every location, our family has "check-in" photos to introduce to friends at home and abroad." Mr. Huy shared. "The deeper we learn about the project, the more knowledge we gain about Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong and Truc Lam Zen sect".
Taking a walk around the resort, it seems that tourists are always "check-ined", from early morning to late at night. Many groups also prepare all kinds of costumes to suit the location and time frame.
Yen Tu Legacy belongs to the Yen Tu Truc Lam Cultural Center, with an architectural style inspired by the ancestral tower in the Hue Quang tower garden on Yen Tu mountain - the place that preserves the epitaph of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong after the Buddha Emperor entered the Nirvana.
The architecture of Hue Quang tower garden, including the ancient tower, is arched gates/doors, thick walls, short roofs covered with lotus-headed tiles raised on both sides and bridges just along the roof trim... The entire architecture is shown at the Truc Lam Yen Tu Cultural Center.
The designer is Bill Bensley - a famous American architect, who is known as the "resort king".
Right during his visit to Hue Quang Gardens and Towers, architect Bill Bensley affirmed that he had found the key to the design.
If anyone has ever visited the ancestral tower in the Hue Quang tower garden on Yen Tu mountain, they can feel the main architecture of Truc Lam Cultural Center, which is the ancestral tower architecture: Arch gate/gate, thick walls, short roof tiled with lotus-headed tiles raised on both sides and arrows along the roof trim...
To Pagoda is the only remaining original relic of Yen Tu, with the base of the tower intact since it was built by King Tran Anh Tong in 1309 - one year after Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong entered the Nirvana - and the body of the tower was restored in the Le Dynasty, 17th century.
Bill Bensley's ideas and detailed designs gradually conquered those who invited this architect to design a monument. Although he is a foreigner, the architect has brought local culture into the architectural work, inheriting 3 core values of Yen Tu mountain - both national and international: Spirituality, culture - history, nature.
Throughout 2 years of construction, the investor has sent officials and employees to dozens of traditional handicraft villages in the North, such as pottery, copper, wood, stone... to search for and order materials suitable for the architecture of the Truc Lam Yen Tu Cultural Center.
The walls of the rooms are up to half a meter thick, the doors and furniture that look like antiques are tiled or made entirely of pure copper, or large blocks of stone, elaborate pottery bricks appear everywhere are just a few small proofs of the sophistication and meticulousness of the work.
