Things to see and do Île Dau Go

In the southwest of the bay, one of the most beautiful caves, over a hundred meters long. What do we say? Stalagmites climb and stalactites fall. Fortunately, the officials of the Vietnam National Tourist Board have failed to gather the majestic legend linked to the cave, which - paradoxically - the discovery is presented as recent:

" According to legend, a beautiful girl named May ("Cloud") conquered the heart of the Dragon Prince, and their sumptuous marriage took place in the middle of the cave, for seven days and seven nights. A little dragons flew between the stalactites and the stalagmites, the elephants danced, the snakes were enroulaient around the stone trees and, above the island, eagles deployed their wide wings in the vastness of the sky. The lively atmosphere of this wedding, attended by the geniuses of the north and south, seems to have fossilized on the walls of the cave. '»»»»

The cave of Bouts draws its name from an episode of the war of resistance against the Mongolian invaders in the th century. On the eve of a decisive battle, General Tran Hung Dao was ordered to prepare several tapered piles, destined to be planted in the bed of the Bach River. The cave would have been used to store them.

We stop in front of a staircase of 300 steps which allows you to reach three fairly large rooms. Inside, the sun's rays run on the water, irisant the rock walls of silver grey reflections.

The French were named "Cave of wonders".
