Locals flocked to the northeastern Vietnamese peak of Yen Tu during the recent Lunar New Year celebrations, creating a human traffic jam along its trail.

Video filmed on February 8 shows hundreds of people moving at a snail's pace en route to the Dong Pagoda at the 1,000-metre-high mountain's peak, which lies in Quang Ninh Province.

Pilgrims go to the top of the mountain to pray for luck and happiness.

A new complex aimed at attracting visitors to Yen Tu recently opened.

Video captured the moment of thousands of people congested into the top of the mountain in the lunar new year in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam.

In the early days of the lunar new year, people will go to the top of the mountain to pray for luck and happiness. On the top of the mountain was built a pagoda called Dong Pagoda. People will pray at this Pagoda. It is estimated that more than 50,000 people go to the top of the mountain every day. The road to the top of the mountain is full of people.
