Mystical Yen Minh

Yen Minh features a spectacular landscape with vast surrounding valleys, towering mountains, and extended terraced rice fields. Millions of years ago, tectonic evolution created many caves beautified with gypsums and stalactites of different forms, shapes and sizes that astonish any visitor.

 

Yen Minh District has many vast caves like Na Luong Cave in Mau Long Commune, Duong Thuong Cave in Duong Thuong Commune, Keo Hen Cave in Huu Vinh Commune, Nang Meng and Nang Tien caves in Yen Minh Town. Many caves are linked to interesting legends about the formation of inside stalactites. Right from stepping into caves, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of cave labyrinths. Duong Thuong is a dry cave but Na Luong is a mysteriously wet cave of stalactites. Inside the cave grows a lot of silver-coloured stalactites in puddles that form a very beautiful air curtain. Stalactites make different sounds when knocked on. Interestingly, deep inside the cave is a cool pure translucent stream with sand dunes or gravel strips. There is a well in the stream called Fairy Well. Caves in Yen Minh form a newly discovered landscape.

 

In addition to cave beauty, Yen Minh still impresses and attracts tourists with its endlessly extended terraced rice fields.
