On February 12 and 13, tourists from all over flocked to Hang Pagoda (An Khang Commune, Tuyen Quang City) to pray for peace and happiness at the beginning of the year.

Hang Pagoda is an ancient pagoda built in the 16th century, during the Mac Dynasty (Mac Dang Doanh). The pagoda is located in Huong Nghiem Mountain in the relic complex with Bau Citadel, Binh Ca Wharf (Tuyen Quang City, Tuyen Quang Province).

Hang Pagoda, as its name suggests, is located in a cave 100 meters deep, with the widest part of the pagoda being about 30 meters. On the cliffs are stalactites with beautiful shapes that have been formed over thousands of years, adding to the mystery and sacredness of the pagoda.
