- Yen Tu Mountain - Hoa Yen Temple (534 meters above sea level). This temple, once the residence of the monk Tran Nhon Dzong, is a site of both historical importance and natural beauty. Ascending the stone steps under the shade of ancient pine trees offers panoramic views of the valley.
Mot Mai (Single-Roofed Pagoda), a small temple perched on a rocky cliff, is celebrated for its serenity and spiritual retreat. Proceed to the second cable car station to get closer to the summit. After disembarking, a short walk leads to the statue of An Gi-saeng, the mythical figure believed to have achieved enlightenment on this mountain. Surrounded by mist and mountain air, it is both a cultural monument and a scenic spot.
- Chùa Đồng Yên Tử - The final part of the tour follows the stone steps to the legendary Dong Pagoda (Bronze Pagoda), located atop the 1,068-meter peak.
