Hang Mo cave in Thai Minh village (Tien Ky commune, Tan Ky district) still retains its pristine, majestic beauty bestowed by nature. From underground springs within the rocks, pure, cool, and gentle water flows year-round, captivating the hearts of visitors.

Tien Ky commune, Tan Ky district, is an ancient land that still preserves many unique cultural values. Tien Ky is where evidence of ancient Vietnamese people dating back 2,300-2,500 years has been discovered. It also bears traces of Le Loi's army in the 15th century during their fight against the Ming invaders to secure the border. Not only is it rich in unique cultural identity, but it also boasts a system of limestone mountains and majestic, picturesque caves such as Mo Cave in Thai Minh village. Photo: Nguyen Dao

Hang mó 9 — According to the elders in the village: In the old days, the rural area of Tien Ky suffered from poverty for a long time, and for a while, trees could not grow due to lack of water. But strangely, during the rainy season, water flowed out of the Mo cave in abundance, flooding the fields, but during the dry season, the water remained in the cave, refusing to flow out and causing drought. The people of Tien Ky commune wished that the situation could be reversed. Photo: Nguyen Dao

Hang mó 4 — Troubled by the persistent famine and crop failures caused by the abnormal water source, in early 1963, Mr. Luong Van Hau (born in 1927), then Secretary of the Ky Minh Cooperative Party Branch, mobilized several villagers to venture deep into the cave to investigate the situation.

Hang mó 5 — Pushing through the dense forest, they reached the cave entrance. The entrance was low and pitch black; the rocks were sharp like shark teeth. But as they went deeper inside, they found a spacious and airy space; the rock formations and cliffs were magnificent; Mr. Luong Van Hau and five others discovered a fairly large stream inside the cave, flowing in an unusual direction and with an uneven flow. They decided to pry away the rocks blocking the old flow, diverting the water to flow into the stream leading to the fields... Thanks to this, the people now have a regular water supply for irrigation, and their lives have become more prosperous... Photo: Nguyen Dao

Hang mó 2 — Today, Mo Cave retains its pristine, majestic beauty bestowed by nature. Every year, thousands of tourists from within and outside the district visit to enjoy the cool air during the summer days and admire the unique and fascinating formations of stalactites and stalagmites in countless shapes and sizes. To enter Mo Cave, visitors must be guided by a local resident or someone who has explored it before, because the cave is pitch black inside, requiring the use of candles or flashlights for illumination.
