Valley of Despair or Valley of Purity?

From the pick-up point at Trang An tourist area (Ninh Binh), go straight for another 5 km, and you will reach Am Tien Cave, also known as Tuyet Tinh Coc, a place blessed by nature with magnificent and breathtaking beauty.

The entrance to Tuyet Tinh Valley has been opened up, xuyên through the mountain, eliminating the need to climb hundreds of stone steps as in previous years.

Previously, many people confused Tuyet Tinh Coc with Tuyet Tinh Coc in other places. A staff member from the management board at Am Tien Cave explained: For those knowledgeable about history, they will know that during the reign of King Dinh Tien Hoang, this place was once an execution ground. Later, a monk built and transformed it into a place of worship and where Queen Mother Duong Van Nga practiced asceticism until the end of her life. Because it was a tranquil, completely isolated, and extremely peaceful place of worship, the name "Tuyet Tinh" (meaning "Absolute Purity") is more accurate.

Van Long Lagoon, nestled in a valley, is home to a school of golden fish that attracts many tourists who come to take photos.

True to its name, the highlight of Tuyet Tinh Coc is the emerald green Van Long Lagoon nestled in a valley surrounded by limestone mountains, isolated from the outside world . In winter, the stone steps become slippery and fog blankets the area, limiting visibility. In summer, the sweltering weather makes visiting Tuyet Tinh Coc more challenging. But regardless of the season, visitors are always amazed by the rare natural beauty of this place.

Tuyet Tinh Valley is completely isolated from the outside world by surrounding limestone mountains.

Climbing the stone steps, visitors will pass through a natural cave to Am Tien Pagoda, which houses ancient religious artifacts, and a turquoise well known as the Well of Atonement. No one can explain why it is called this, but many people often come here to pray for good fortune.

The Well of Atonement is located deep inside Am Tien Cave.

Many tourists come to Tuyet Tinh Coc to experience the serene and ancient beauty of the Hoa Lu historical site.
