Panoramic view of Tram Mountain with 5 peaks in Phung Chau Commune,
Chuong My District, Ha Noi

Tram Mountain in Phung Chau Commune, Chuong My District, Ha Noi has another name, Ngu Nhac Son, which originates from a legend. It is believed that the mountain was formerly a white pearl from heaven. When the pearl fell to earth near the Day River, it turned into five phoenixes which are today five mountain peaks. The name of the mountains was then changed into Tu Tram Son.

It takes only 10 minutes to get halfway up the mountain where there is flat ground for tourists to have a panoramic view of five white peaks. Here, there are different paths leading to these peaks.

Tram Mountain is known as a spiritual destination with three ancient pagodas, including Tram, Hang and Vo Vi which are small but very sacred. Vo Vi, built in the 16^th century with a total area of nearly 10m², is the most well known. Most of the area of the pagoda is designed for worshipping Buddha. There is also a pavilion, called Nghenh Phong, where visitors can enjoy fresh winds and behold the romantic landscape formed by a river peacefully winding through rice paddies and the rural countryside.

Tram Pagoda was built in the 16^th century

Right at the foot of Tram Mountain stands a 3m high entrance that leads to Hang (Cave) Pagoda where many stone Buddha statues are worshiped. Here, there are also various stalactites in different shapes and sizes, creating majestic scenery. Besides stone drums and statues from the Le Dynasty, the pagoda still preserves 15 ancient poems and literature works of great value on its stone walls.

Last but not least is Tram Pagoda, the main structure in the complex of beautiful spots on Tram Mountain. The pagoda has a large yard with old trees. During the festival season, it attracts a large number of tourists.

With ancient pagodas and a beautiful landscape, Tram Mountain is a spiritual destination for domestic tourists.
