Ba Chua Thac Bo Temple

Ba Chua Thac Bo Temple is located in Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district, Hoa Binh province. This ancient temple is located on the shore of a large, calm turquoise lake all year round. Behind the temple is a mountain system with beautiful stalactite caves that delight visitors. In 2009, Thac Bo Cave in the relic cluster was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism as a National Scenic Monument. Legend has it that Ba Chua Thac Bo Temple worships two female generals, Mrs. Dinh Thi Van from the Muong ethnic group and a lady (name unknown) from the Dao ethnic group. The two women were instrumental in Le Loi's reign, helping people and soldiers transport food and boats through Thac Bo to Muong Le to quell the rebellion. After the two women passed away, they often had epiphanies to help people safely cross the famous dangerous and harsh waterfall when the Da River had not yet blocked its flow that day. Grateful people built a temple to worship the two women to show their respect and hope that they would bless and protect them from danger when passing through the water. You should come to the temple from January 7 to the end of March (lunar calendar) because this is the time with the most bustling festivals. Thac Bo Ba Chua Temple owns a system of 38 statues, including 2 bronze statues worshiping two ladies. The temple has a large statue located in a cave that is dry and cool all year round. Surrounding the cave are shimmering and magical stalactite columns in the dim electric light, creating the sacred and attractive appearance of the worship cave. Tourists who want to offer incense first go to Trinh Temple and then to the Lord Temple. However, these two temples are located on two different "islands" so visitors are forced to take a boat for about 20 minutes to get there. Setting foot on the temple is a challenge of more than 100 steps to reach the place of worship. The special feature at Ba Chua Thac Bo Temple is that the back leans against the mountain and the face faces the vast, immense lake of jade green color. This beautiful scene has attracted many tourists to the temple to offer incense and admire the scenery. After offering incense, you can move to nearby locations in Thung Nai to enjoy delicious dishes of Hoa Binh. All foods are guaranteed to be "home-grown" so they are extremely fresh and delicious and carry a distinct specialty. Some dishes not to be missed include Da River fish, Muong pork, pickled vegetables, leaf yeast wine,...
