| On the Yen My range in Bai Son valley, there are many beautiful caves, the most beautiful of which is Mat Trang cave. From the foot of the mountain, you have to climb a steep road of nearly 1km to reach the cave entrance, the cave is located halfway up the mountain. |
 |
| During the years of fighting against America, the cave was used to hide weapons and ammunition and was restored in 2005. |
 |
| The cave has a beautiful lighting system, but you have to use a flashlight to enter the cave. The cave is about 800 meters long, with many large areas inside like halls. It is cool all year round, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. |
 |
| Entering the middle of the cave, there are two paths: the left path is an artificial escape route, the right path is the path to Heaven's Gate, which connects to the top of the mountain. |
 |
| Through a long process of creation, Mat Trang Cave has many beautiful spaces with all kinds of strange shapes: human figures, Buddha figures, objects, animals... attractive and lively. |
 |
| Many stalactites look soft like hair, like clouds. |
 |
| The layers of stalactites stacked on top of each other like a watercolor painting. |
 |
| The paths and entrances to the cave have been concreted and have protective railings. |
 |
| The top of the cave is where bats sleep. Wherever you shine your flashlight, bats will fly there. |

| The flowing stalactite stream is one of the most beautiful scenes in the White Face Cave. The ancients also recited verses about this legend: “The innocent stone breasts/ Appear in legend/ Her milk flows forever/ White and fragrant until now” |

| Visiting the White Face Cave, people seem to be immersed in the majestic and beautiful nature. Currently, the rocky mountain area around the cave is under the management of the Song Lam Cement Factory. Although it is open for people to visit freely, many people are concerned that if there is no conservation solution associated with timely tourism development, when the stone mining activities in the Yen My range are promoted to serve the cement factory's operations, the White Face Cave landscape will only remain in memory. |
