Tham Nang Man relic has an area of ​​1,853 m², associated with the legend of the girl Man holding her child and turning into stone. This place has become a stopover for tourists and a spiritual place for the locals. People often go into the cave to pray to the girl Man for favorable weather, good crops, and happiness in love and life.

Tham Nang Man relic has been restored and embellished many times. However, due to the lack of strict and synchronous State management, the management and protection of the relic is still lax, so the hygiene and environmental landscape are not guaranteed. The locality has not yet mobilized social resources for the management and conservation of the relic, while the community's awareness in the management and protection of the relic is still limited.
