One of the most meaningful experiences near Phuc Ly Temple is attending the daily morning monk chanting ceremony, beginning at 5:30 AM. Visitors can sit quietly in the temple courtyard, listening to meditative chants and sutras, immersing themselves in a serene spiritual atmosphere.
The temple also hosts regular handmade paper umbrella workshops, led by master artisans who teach participants how to craft traditional umbrellas using natural wax paper and bamboo frames—perfect for taking home as a souvenir. Another highlight is the afternoon tea ceremony, held in the temple garden with jasmine tea and sticky rice pastries, accompanied by live performances of traditional Vietnamese instrumental music.
During lunar festivals, guests can join the lantern floating ritual, releasing small paper lanterns bearing wishes into the river—a symbolic act of letting go. These events are organized by the temple, require advance HopeGoo (recommended at least two days ahead), and offer an authentic, intimate connection to Vietnamese Buddhist culture.
