Shopping Tour: Hanoi - Lang Son - Tan Thanh Border Gate

(Traveling to Vietnam) Visitors to Lang Son will be attracted by the poetic landscape of mountains in harmony with rivers and charmed by the local people’s warmth and hospitality. When listing the famous beauty spots in Lang Son, one cannot miss the wonders that nature has given to this land, namely the Nhi Thanh – Tam Thanh cave complex and the Husband-Awaiting statue. In the old days, politician Ngo Thi Nham listed these two among the eight famous beauty spots of Lang Son.

Nature has endowed Lang Son with a magnificent landscape where converge mountains and rivers, citadels and ancient quarters. With these original characteristics and well-known sceneries, the image of a peaceful and gentle Lang Son always leave unforgettable impressions on visitors from all corners of the nation.

Tam Thanh Cave is a natural scenery with numberless stalactites of all colors. Am Ty (Hell) Lake lying within Tam Thanh Cave is so pure and deep blue and never goes dry. Behind the Cave is the Way to Heaven Gate that leads to the mountain top. Standing there, visitors may feel so near the sky and even can touch the clouds lazily flowing around. Through the ups and downs of the time, Tam Thanh Cave remains an untouched wonder of the Creator, whose beauty is beyond any words.

Lying next to Tam Thanh Cave is Nhi Thanh Cave and Tam Giao (Triple Religion) Pagoda. Nhi Thanh is also a natural cave with so many colorful stones of magnificent and charming shapes and forms. Underneath the cave, a long stream of around 500 meters is babbling, creating a funny melody of the nature. Inside the cave is a natural stage that is far beyond the intervention of humans. Above it, little waterfalls are falling down, making visitors have the feeling that they were standing amidst a mysterious fairy land.

When leaving Nhi Thanh Cave, you should visit the statue of Lady To Thi carrying her child and awaiting her husband. The stature is a legendary manifestation of the Vietnamese women’s unshakeable faithfulness. At the foot of To Thi Mount is a section of a citadel made of rocks with many loop-holes on it – the remains of the Mac Dynasty’s citadel and also a historic vestige that witnessed the civil wars in Viet Nam in the previous centuries. This is also an important military complex lying on the only path that links Vietnam and China. After saying farewell to Nhi Thanh and Tam Thanh, visitors should go to Ky Cung River and Dai Tuong (Big Elephant) Mount. The mount rises above the fields in the southern part of Lang Son City, where Tien (Fairy) Pagoda and Tien (Fairy) Well are situated. Besides, there are many other charming destinations that visitors should pay a visit to, such as Gio (Windy) Cave, Gam Son Dam and Na Tam Lake...
