Perfume Pagoda
Hanoi, Vietnam
The Perfume Pagoda in Vietnam consists of a series of temples built into limestone hills, first constructed in the 15th century. Visitors often start with a boat journey along the Yen Stream before a steep trek or cable car ride toward the main complex of Chua Huong Tich. Mid-February is perfect for the Perfume Pagoda Festival, when pilgrims visit from all over.
