Overview

Being asked about Ninh Binh’s attractions, most tourists know about the famous sites such as Trang An Eco-tourism complex, Tam Coc - Hoa Lu or Bai Dinh pagoda as the information of these places can be searched easily on the internet and there is plenty of advertisements about them. However, a pristine site like Tuyet Tinh Co (it is also called Am Tien area) sounds strange to travelers especially foreigners. But if you have the chance to visit here, you will be astonished at the untouched appearance and extraordinary beauty that makes it become a wonderful masterpiece.

Down a sleepy road between rice paddies, this cave (the name means 'Cave of Dance') is not terribly impressive, but there are panoramic views from the peak above. A stone staircase beside the cave entrance zigzags through the karst (beware the goat droppings) and it’s almost 500 steps to a simple altar to Quan Am (the Goddess of Mercy). Look west for the Ngo Dong River winding through Tam Coc.
The climb is paved but steep in sections, so bring water and allow an hour return. Mua Cave is 5km from Ninh Binh and is a popular stop on Tam Coc tours.

Tuyet Tinh Coc
Am Tien cave is located in Hoa Lu ancient capital relic, Ninh Binh province. The location of ancient Am Tien cave is adjacent to the Eastern part of Hoa Lu capital.
Legend has it that Dinh dynasty used this cave as a dungeon. The king bred tigers and panthers there to torture those who committed serious crimes. Later, the cave was no longer used as dungeon. In Ly dynasty, Zen master Nguyen Minh Khong built a Buddhist shrine in the cave. After that, in order to commemorate his works, people built more shrines in the cave. The beautiful scenery in the cave with an addition of Buddhist shrine can sure satisfy tourists. The cave becomes a peaceful place which is why it is named “Am Tien” cave or “Am Tien” pagoda.
