Among these special destinations, Ha Nam proudly boasts three of the most beautiful and famous temples in the region, each offering a unique spiritual and cultural experience. Let's explore the experience of Lunar New Year pilgrimage to these impressive temples to create unforgettable moments in your journey.
 
 
Tam Chuc Pagoda, located in the Tam Chuc tourist area, is currently considered the largest pagoda in the world. It is dubbed as the "Halong Bay on land" with a total area of ​​5,100 hectares, featuring ancient and exquisite architectural style harmonizing with the majestic beauty of mountains and landscapes. Moreover, Tam Chuc Pagoda also has many attractive check-in points for young people such as Thuy Dinh guesthouse, Tam Quan gate, Column Garden, etc. When visiting Tam Chuc Pagoda, tourists can experience transportation by wooden boats and electric cars. The ticket prices for visiting Tam Chuc Pagoda during Tet Lunar New Year are adjusted accordingly. The temporary ticket price during this period is 270k VND, instead, tourists can choose between two other prices: 290k VND and 350k VND. The 350k VND ticket includes full transportation (including boat and electric car) along with a buffet meal worth 100k VND.
 
Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda, also known as Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu (or Dung Pagoda), has a history of over 1000 years and underwent renovation in 2015. Today, it has become a popular destination for tourists in the early days of the new year. With ancient architectural style, the pagoda attracts young people to capture delicate "spring ao dai" moments. Especially before Tet, many young ladies have created sparkling photos at this historic pagoda. When visiting the pagoda, you will immerse yourself in the melodious bell sounds, bringing a peaceful feeling as if you are immersed in a silent paradise. However, to reach the pagoda, you will need to climb the mountain, so prepare the most comfortable sports shoes. The journey of climbing the mountain and visiting the pagoda takes about 1 hour, and during the early spring days, due to crowded tourists, the path to the pagoda may be blocked for more than 1km. However, you can still walk or use motorbike taxi services with a price of about 10k VND/person. To reach the main gate, you also need to walk about 700m more.
 
About 2km from Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda, Cay Thi Pagoda is another ideal destination for your Lunar New Year pilgrimage when visiting Ha Nam. According to Venerable Thich Hue Hanh, the current abbot of the pagoda, the name "Cay Thi" is derived from the "cay thi" tree next to the pagoda, which has existed for hundreds of years with a large tree trunk as it is today since it was small. The reconstruction of the pagoda began in late 2019 and was completed in early 2020, with many new architectural works such as Ancestor's house, Three Treasures, places of worship for Duc Ong, Duc Thanh Hien, and lecture hall meeting full standards to welcome Buddhists and tourists to visit. The architecture of Cay Thi Pagoda strongly reflects the design of Japanese architecture, with meticulously cared bonsai gardens down to the smallest details. Especially at night, rows of lanterns create a sparkling and romantic picture.
