Lang Nuong Yen Tu is part of the Yen Tu Monuments and Landscapes Complex. This area spans a natural area of nearly 2,700 ha, with 1,700 ha of unique natural forest belonging to the Northeastern ecosystem. With its vast expanse, the entire complex is also a sanctuary for many rare species of flora and fauna, including more than 200 ancient pine trees that are up to 700 years old.

In addition to the pine forests, the bamboo groves also play a vital role at Yen Tu, embodying the noble spirit of an upright gentleman and inspiring King Tran Nhan Tong when naming the Truc Lam Zen sect he founded. Historically, King Tran Nhan Tong chose to stay at Yen Tu instead of returning to his hometown to pursue his monastic life. The king had villages established at the foot of Yen Tu Mountain for his imperial consorts and concubines to live. Over time, these villages gradually vanished, but today, Lang Nuong Yen Tu has recreated a space that bears the distinctive marks of Northern Vietnam during the Tran Dynasty.

Nestled at the foot of the solemn and majestic Yen Tu Mountain, Lang Nuong Yen Tu features houses built with laterite stone, brick walls, and ironwood. The entire complex exudes a serene, mystical, and profoundly sacred aura. Visiting here, you will embark on an experience akin to stepping back into the Tran Dynasty, immersing yourself in a tranquil and peaceful traditional cultural space.
