What sets Huong Tich temple apart is not merely its standalone presence but its existence as a complex divided into 3 main sections including Upper Temple, Temple of the Heavenly King, and the Holy Mother's Pavilion. Among these, the Holy Mother's Pavilion is believed to be where the daughter of King Dieu Thien came to cultivate diligently and achieve enlightenment. Apart from the main 3 areas, there are also the Fairy Cave, Cloud-Spraying Pavilion, Fairy Bath Spring, and the Lady Temple... All of these contribute to a beauty steeped in tranquility, solitude, and ancient charm.

“Root Huong Pagoda”
Huong Tich Pagoda is often mistaken by many as a version of the Huong Pagoda in Ha Tay. However, Huong Tich Pagoda in Ha Tay has inherited and been built upon the significance of Huong Tich Pagoda in Ha Tinh. This is because the Huong Pagoda in Ha Tinh has been ravaged three times by the Ming invaders, the French colonialists, and forest fires, resulting in periods of desolation with no resident monks. The Huong Pagoda in Ha Tay was constructed for that reason.
