Here, the archaeologists have discovered the signs of kitchen ash and the skeletons aged over 14,000 - 17,000 years. Previously, during the excavations in the 80s of the last century, the researchers also found the scattered rice grains of the ancients, which were identified the ones during the Tran Dynasty. In addition, the remains of the tombs of the late Tran and early Le dynasties were found almost intactly. The primitive people in Hoa Binh Culture knew how to insert stone blocks and spread crushed stones around the graves to protect them. Also at Trai cave, the archaeologists found stone axes, animal bones, rice husks, walnut shells and many fossils of snail shells.

Visiting the relics on a warm sunny day, Trai mountain, which located in the middle of the rich Muong Vang field surrounded by Lan stream, appears in front of my eyes. Following the footsteps of the guides, I couldn't help but admire the layered snail shells, the fanciful rock fossils and even the patterns created by the ancients, imprinted over thousands of years of history. Mr. Bui Van Bang, the Secretary of the Party cell of Trai Sao hamlet, Tan Lap commune shares: Before being discovered by the scientists, Trai cave used to be a spiritual place. When knowing that this is a place inhabited by the prehistoric people and it was recognized as the national archaeological relics, the people in Trai Sao appreciate this mountain even more.

Inside there are beautiful caves linked together to form a shimmering and fanciful landscape complex with many shimmering stalactites.
