Information Thien Long Cave
Perhaps, many people think that Cat Ba Island is not a good place for
them to go sightseeing. I was attracted by its strange beauty,
especially Thien Long cave.
I went to Cat Ba on Superior boat owned by South Pacific Travel. After nearly one hour, I laid my feet on the island. Cat Ba do not have exquisite and noisy beauty like Halong, Cat Ba always has its own quiet and peaceful beauty. If you go there to find yourself in outdoor activities, you may not be satisfied with it, Cat Ba includes a national park and a group of caves, and this is good place for anyone traveling for the purpose of dicovering the natural wonders. I did not have chance to visit national park, but seeing Thien Long cave was very interesting.
Thien Long is located in Phu Long town, which is isolated from the area around. When we (I and other accompanied people) came there, one man, short but kind, picked up us and took us to the cave. The cave was quiet at that time, there was no one else except us, the man, living in and managing the cave, told us about discovering the cave and an ancient tomb. According to him, the ancient tomb was 1000 years old and excavated in 2002 in the recent years. Going around the cave, I saw the root of hundred year Si tree which was planted on the top of the mountain (Si is a plant symbolized something old and holy, and usually grown in temples, pagodas, and communal houses in villages). The cave’s air is so cool and fresh; at times some bats flew over our heads and made us nervous. The man smiled and said that many people were afraid of bats however they were good animal, the cave had many mosquitoes. He also explained more about the ancient tomb, a skeleton of solider, sacrificed in a battle.
We went around the cave and enjoy the extraordinary figures of stones; I freely imagined and guessed what form stones were. The little man described the stones up to his opinion which made us surprise and funny. He seemly understood this caves clearly and felt proud of saying about it. Before, we left the cave, he offered a music performance by tools of stones. That was very interesting!
