TPO - In contrast to the crowded scene every year, the opening day of the Huong Pagoda festival (My Duc, Hanoi) was unusually deserted, with locals and tourists leisurely getting on the boat and cable car without having to queue.

On the morning of February 3 (the 6th day of the Lunar New Year), the 2025 Huong Pagoda Festival officially opened with the theme Huong Pagoda Festival - a destination for tourism, culture, and Vietnamese traditions. This year, the organizing committee has built a traditional cultural tourism week, combining intangible cultural performances and traditional folk arts, along with folk games into the program, in order to enhance the cultural value of the festival.

According to Tien Phong , unlike the crowded scene of previous years and during the 4 days of Tet At Ty, the opening day of Huong Pagoda festival this year was deserted.

Boatmen have been waiting for passengers at Yen wharf since 5am. This year, the boats are divided into many shifts, with license plates classified by different colors to rotate and arrange the boats, ensuring fairness and traffic safety.

After passing the ticket gate, people are immediately arranged to board the boat without having to wait.

The opening day of the Huong Pagoda festival falls on the first working day of the new year, so the number of visitors has decreased. Moreover, the Huong Pagoda festival lasts until the end of the third lunar month, so many people do not need to go right away.

The Management Board of Huong Son Relic and Scenic Area estimates that about 20,000 people will visit Huong Pagoda on the opening day of the festival.

The main hall of Huong Pagoda on the morning of the 6th lunar day was not too crowded.

Locals and tourists taking the cable car to Huong Tich cave do not need to queue, the round-trip cable car ticket price is 220,000 VND/person.

Inside Huong Tich cave is sparsely populated, this is also a rare image in recent years.
