History has it that there was a king under the Tran dynasty who left everything in his life behind – including his throne, family, possession, and power, to become a monk and practice Buddhism in a deserted mountain in the 13th century. That mountain is called Yen Tu, and since then has become a hotspot for both religion followers and curious travelers.

Here are our best picks for where to stay when visiting Yen Tu. Most people would stay in Uong Bi city, which is 25 km away from Yen Tu, as there are very few accommodation options on the mountain.
