Early in the morning, around 3 A.M. a sea of religiou pilgrims take small boats to go to Huong Pagoda to avoid overcrowding. Depending to the size of boats, tickets vary from USD 6 to 7. Each boat could transfor around 14 people without a life jacket. People seem not to care about their life.



A baby in the arms of her mother is sitting on a boat without life vest. There is no rule of local authorities to protect the security of visitors. The Lunar New Year is the time for people flow to the pagoda to say prayers to wish the best for their loved ones, families for the whole upcoming year. On these days, around 50,000 people come to this temple.
