Tam
Thanh Grotto is one of the famous grottoes in Lang Son, 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 Lang
Son.
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.
