Tran Quang Dac, 29, was rescued after falling off a cliff at the Yen Tu Mount on September 3. A Yen Tu National Park worker, who was releasing a king cobra in the forest, saw him and reported to the park managers. Yen Tu is located 1,068 meters above sea level, the highest in northeastern Vietnam, and closely linked to the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen Buddhist sect founded by King Tran Nhan Tong (1258-1308). It was listed as a national relic in 1974 and a special national relic in 2012. Most of its pagodas, temples and towers are located on nearly 2,800 hectares in the Yen Tu Forest Natural Reserve which boasts a diverse tropical ecosystem.
