The festival organizing board and local authorities have invested in expanding the wharf and put a total of 4,600 boats into service during this year’s festival.

Sightseeing trips to pagodas, temples and caves are the main attractions at the Huong pagoda festival, as well as ceremonies to ask favors from Lord Buddha.

Built in the late 17th century, Huong Pagoda is located in My Duc District at a historic site that has a large number of pagodas, temples and caverns filled with marvelous kinds of stalactites, about 60km from downtown Hanoi. The Huong Tich cavern has the autograph of Lord Trinh Sam in 1770, describing the cavern as the most beautiful cave in the country.
