(Baonghean.vn) - Tham Nang Man Cave is located on the rocky mountain range at the beginning of Pha village, Yen Khe commune (Con Cuong), about 2 km from the town, less than 1 km from National Highway 7A. Tham Nang Man has a fairly large and flat area, a system of stalactites rich in shape, color, sound and is associated with a legend about love. Those are the things that make it attractive to tourists from near and far.
People in Yen Khe area say that: Once upon a time, there was a rich family in the area that gave birth to a beautiful girl, good personality, good singing, good dancing, named her Man. When she grew up, many rich men came to ask for her hand in marriage, but she only loved a poor boy in the same village.
That love was forbidden because her family thought they were not a good match. Despite the prohibition, the young couple still found a way to date and exchange love, and then Man became pregnant. According to the custom of the village, Man was imprisoned in an ugly cave to take care of the birth.
Sympathizing with the young couple's misfortune, especially with the adversity of Man, the Jade Emperor sent fairies down to earth to arrange and decorate the cave beautifully so that she could give birth safely.
One morning, when she woke up, she saw the dawn shining directly into the cave, making the stalactites glow in many colors, making the scenery become magnificent. She walked around the cave, tapping on each stalactite to create magical sounds. The clean stone beds, stone tables, and stone chairs seemed to be calling her. After giving birth, she held her child and stood facing the cave entrance, looking out at the village with a longing to return to village life, with the person she loved. Until one day, she and her child turned to stone...
Exploring Tham Nang Man, we will feel the ingenuity and talent of the hand of creation, and will see the flow of tens of thousands and millions of years frozen on each stone slab and stalactite. Tham Nang Man is located on the way to Muong Qua, a place with charming scenery, rich villages, unique customs and culture. If you have the opportunity to pass by here, we invite you to stop and explore the mysterious and attractive beauty of Tham Nang Man.
