Cave / Cavern in Tam Coc Area

This is more of a temple than a pagoda, attached to a mountain and within it's cave. If you are adventurous enough, you can take the forbidden route up to the top of the mountain to have a great view of the surrounding area. Entrance is free, parking is probably 10,000VND per bicycle. The attendance might try to charge more for other access fee, thus you might need to stand your ground.

There are 3 routes available, we choose route 1 which go through 9 caves. I won't say the journey is spectacular, but it is nice and comfortable. 200,000VND for 2+ hours boat ride is very reasonable service. No scam, no tips, no discrimination, no selling.

We emerged from the first grotto without a scratch and headed to our next destination, where two pagodas sit atop a hill. The hike up was not too bad and towards the top, sit 2 gazebos of distinct Chinese architecture. Something you’d find from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
