Lao Dong recorded that from early morning on February 28, people and tourists flocked to Tam Chuc Pagoda (Tam Chuc ward, Ninh Binh province) to visit, sightsee and worship Buddha. At the boat ticket and electric car ticket buying area, many people lined up to wait to buy tickets to move to the central area.
Ms. Pham Thi Huong (a tourist from Ninh Binh province) shared: "At the beginning of the year, my family and I came here to worship Buddha with the wish that my family would be healthy and peaceful. The space here is spacious, the scenery of the countryside is poetic, so going to worship also feels lighter".
Not only local people, many groups of tourists from neighboring provinces also choose Tam Chuc Pagoda as a spring tourist destination. Mr. Tran Van Manh (a tourist from Nghe An) said: "I have been here a few times, but every time I return, I feel very peaceful and familiar. The majestic scenery, the clear blue lake, and surrounding rocky mountains create a very special space. My family takes advantage of going early to avoid the winter and have time to visit fully.
In recent days, the number of visitors to Tam Chuc Pagoda has increased sharply, especially during Tet and near the opening day of the festival. To ensure security and order and serve tourists thoughtfully, the Pagoda Management Board has strengthened forces to guide, divert traffic, and arrange additional internal transport vehicles.
Tam Chuc Pagoda is built between a complex of limestone mountains and a large lake, highlighted by works such as Tam The Palace, Phap Chu Palace, Quan Am Palace. The vast space of thousands of hectares and massive architecture make this place a spiritual destination attracting a large number of tourists every year.
