Tam Thanh Grotto
Location:
Tham Thanh Grotto is situated in Tam Thanh Ward, Langson City, Langson Province, Vietnam.Tam Thanh Grotto is one of the famous grottoes in Langson, lying west of Ky Lua Street. Its door is approximately 8m high, opening to a corridor with 30 stone steps carved into the mountain. There are dense groves hiding the grotto from the sun. Poet Ngo Thi Si (1726–1780) carved one of his texts on the grotto wall while he was a Mandarin guard in Langson.
The poem praises the magnificent natural beauty of the area, more specifically the sound of the water stream falling on hundreds of rocks, almost like a graceful murmur. Vong Phu Mountain, meaning "waiting for a husband," is located nearby. Here, one can explore a grotto with marvelous stalactites and a statue of Buddha.
