(Baonghean.vn) - To welcome Christmas 2019, the people of Ke Gai parish, Hung Tay commune, Hung Nguyen district designed and assembled a giant cave made from thousands of bamboo trees and countless packages. This is one of the most unique works in Nghe An during this Christmas holiday.

Clip: Although it's not Christmas yet, the nativity scene attracts hundreds of tourists every night.

The giant grotto built in front of the right side of Ke Gai parish church looks like a rocky mountain. The grotto is dozens of meters long and about 15 meters high.
The upper part of the cave is designed with many shapes simulating vertical rocks, caves, streams...
The cave has many levels, and you can go to the top of the cave by a bamboo path about 1 meter wide that runs from one side of the cave to the other.
The cave is decorated with many vivid images, such as the manger where the baby Jesus was born, and also a garden of animals, houses, trees, images of angels...
In front of the cave, it is cozy to have the cottage of Jesus' family.
Made from thousands of bamboo trees and countless cement bags, through the skillful hands of parishioners, a massive yet equally romantic structure was created.
Below this giant cave there are many cave entrances and connecting roads, where people and tourists can pass through, admire and take pictures.
According to parishioners, to make this grotto, the parish prepared for a whole month, purchasing materials, designing, and constructing. Every day, people were divided into groups to work. From the start of construction until the completion of the grotto took a whole month with thousands of working days. In the photo: The back of the giant grotto.
