When it comes to Ninh Binh tourism, we are talking about famous landscapes such as Trang An eco-tourism area, Tam Coc - Bich Dong tourist area, Cuc Phuong national park, Van Long lagoon... Besides, we cannot fail to mention the largest and most beautiful dry cave in Ninh Binh, which is Van Trinh cave.

Located on the side of Mo mountain, over 50m high, in Thuong Hoa commune, Nho Quan district, Ninh Binh province, Van Trinh cave has a charming and poetic landscape. After climbing to the cave entrance, standing at the entrance, visitors can look far away to admire the beautiful scenery of the wild mountains and forests, the vast fertile fields hidden in the misty mist, creating a charming and wonderful picture.

Van Trinh Cave has a very large area, about 3500 ^m2 . In which, the cave dome is the highest place with a height of over 100 m. Coming here, visitors will be impressed with the flat cave floor, with many unique patterns.

Previously, the cave was also called Giang Tien because the stalactites here have the shape of soft fairies playing and dancing. Besides, the inside of the cave is likened to a maze with many stalactites arranged in rows of panels soaring up to the cave ceiling, with strange shapes, very eye-catching.

Entering the cave, visitors can admire the majestic and splendid throne of the king created from magical and shimmering stalactites of various colors. Here is a magical world, with vivid stalactites transformed into the king sitting in court, the mandarins discussing royal affairs, the compassionate Buddha with a pensive expression…

Next to it is the “flea market” area with images of the Jade Emperor and the gods of Heaven walking. Next to it is a chess board with images of beautiful fairies sitting and standing, thinking, and competing with Indra. It is the transparent drops of water, diligently and steadfastly for generations that have created such masterpieces.

At the top of the cave is a skylight, also known as the “eye of the sky”, where yin and yang meet, heaven and earth are in harmony. Scattered in the dark corners of the cave are granaries and vaults where visitors can come to pray for luck and fortune. In particular, towering in the middle of the harem is a stone pillar that can be called “kinh thien nhat tru”, very unique.

Over time, Van Trinh cave still retains its original, tangible beauty of the stone. With each step, visitors discover new things and experience a different, enchanting, indescribable landscape.
