create magical beauty for Tien Phi Cave, which is located in Tan Hoa ward of
Hoa Binh city.
The cave is 80m above the land surface, with its entrance facing northeast. The
entrance to the cave is a narrow rock crevice that slopes slightly towards the
inside. The cave is divided into two compartments. The outer compartment is 15m
long and 8m wide, with a 20m high arched ceiling. The partitions and ceiling
have many stalactites and stone veins on them. On the dome of the cave, near
the entrance, there is an opening to the top of the mountain, where natural
light can enter, enhancing the sparkling beauty of the stalactites and stone
veins in the cave. The inner compartment is 53m long and 20m wide, and the
ceiling is 10m high.
Through the erosion of time, countless stalactites are created as wonderful
creations of nature. When going more deeply into the cave, one will see more
stalactites in different shapes, creating impressive sculptures and unique
architectural blocks.
In the outer compartment of the cave, the walls and ceiling have many
stalactites hanging down, creating vivid and impressive images like a
fairyland. The shapes of stalactites vary, some look like fairies sleeping in a
swinging multi-colored hammock, while others resemble fairies dressed in
splendid brocade, flying and singing in the middle of the pink clouds. There
are also stalactites in the shapes of Buddha, or animals like lions and turtle,
and flowers.
At the end of the cave there is a semicircular well which is 3m wide, 30m deep,
with clear, cool water.

going through Hoa Binh Prison, Hoa Binh Hydroelectric Plant, and Da River. With
