Many people say that, traveling from North to South, they have never seen a pagoda located in a large, clean and airy cave like Thach Long Pagoda. Buddhist monks and nuns attending the festival can enter the cave to worship Buddha in thousands of people. The story goes that, in the past, people in Vi Huong - Bach Thong commune went down the Cau River to pick up the Shakyamuni Buddha statue to worship in their village, Hoa Son, on top of the Phja Bjooc mountain range. The golden Buddha statue is very heavy, so when going up to Vi Huong, it had to be pulled by a rope. Coming to Bo Mi river in Cao Ky commune today, the array kept spinning and made it impossible to move. It was already dark, that night, the people going to process the statue had to set up a tent to sleep at the Bo Mi garden to continue the next day. The next morning when they woke up, they were panic-stricken and could not see the Buddha. The person going to process the statue had to light a large bunch of incense and pray: "If you want to stay here, I will obey your wishes, but please let me know where you are sitting so that future generations can worship the incense and smoke." Having finished speaking, the bundle of incense and smoke flew to the other side of the river, forever going into the mountains. The person carrying the statue kept following the incense smoke and discovered a beautiful, spacious cave. Shakyamuni Buddha sat at the highest place. Knowing the sacred cave, the villagers built a temple right in this cave. The pagoda is called Thach Long (stone dragon) because the cave is located in a rocky mountain, the cave entrance has the shape of an open dragon's mouth. The pagoda has two main parts. The first part is Thien Pagoda. This pagoda is located high up, with a stone step from the foot of the mountain leading straight up to the cave entrance. The highest compartment worships Shakyamuni Buddha. In the middle space, on the highest pedestal, there is an image worshiping Uncle Ho. The second part of the pagoda is Am Pagoda, the way to Am Pagoda must go around the mountainside. The entrance to Am Pagoda is a bit narrower than Thien Pagoda. The cave's interior is not as wide as Thien Pagoda. It is estimated to be about 6m high, 6m wide and has a deep recess inside. Both Thien Pagoda and Am Pagoda have many heavenly statues depicting Buddhas. In the heart of Thien Pagoda, the cliff divides itself into segments like high and luxurious parasols covering the Buddhas sitting below. Not only does it contain many legends, Thach Long Pagoda is also a historical relic, the pride of the people of Cao Ky commune during the resistance war against the French. During the resistance war against the French colonialists, Uncle Ho came here three times. During the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954, the pagoda became a weapons transport station and a secret arsenal of our army. Peace was restored, the pagoda was again worshiped by people like before. Thach Long Pagoda Festival is held on January 7 every year, attracting many tourists from all over, who come to offer incense to pray for luck and happiness for their families and relatives. Thach Long Pagoda is not only a beautiful landscape of Bac Kan, but also a historical relic. This relic has been receiving a lot of attention, protection, and restoration to become an attractive cultural tourist destination of Bac Kan province.

Ban Ca historical site, Binh Trung commune, Cho Don district, Bac Kan province. This is where Uncle Ho lived and worked during the resistance war against the French colonialists. He was in Ban Ca from December 7, 1947 to the end of December 1947. Initially, he built a camp at the beginning of Ban Ca stream, then built another camp on Khau Phay hill near the people in the village. These two shacks are 800m apart, next to them are shacks with typewriters for printing and drafting documents, word processors and shacks for security guards. According to the people here, while living and working here, he lived very simply and was close to the people, also wearing brown shirts and carrying cloth bags like the people. He works on schedule. After work, he often exercises and participates in growing vegetables with officials in the Presidential Palace. He often visited other leaders of the Party Central Committee in Cho Don, but only occasionally by horse and other times on foot. During his time here, Uncle Ho issued many decrees, directives, and letters such as: He signed a decree to reward commune presidents and administrators on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the national resistance war. On December 8, 1947, he wrote a letter to Bishop Le Huu Tu on the occasion of Christmas. On December 12, 1947, he wrote a letter to the Government of liberated Cambodia (Cambodia) welcoming the establishment of the Vietnam-Cambodia-Laos Liberation Committee. On December 19, 1947, he called on his compatriots to compete in killing the enemy to form workers on the national day of resistance, and signed a circular to the ministries on "sending effective employees for reward". On the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Liberation Army, he wrote an article about the development process of the people's armed forces, and wished that our armed forces would continuously mature in all aspects. On December 24, 1947, he wrote a letter to fellow Catholics, wishing that fellow Catholics would stand side by side with fellow soldiers across the country to expel the colonial invaders. In addition, he also wrote many articles encouraging people all over the country to participate in the resistance war against the French colonialists... Currently, the only remaining evidence of Uncle Ho's shack area in Ca village is only the remains of the shack floor next to the old palm tree. The two artifacts are a cooking stirrup for Uncle Ho and a black dinner jacket he gave to the family of Mr. Ban Van Trai (Mr. Nhuoi). In early 1990, Mr. Trai's family donated these two artifacts to the (old) Bac Thai Museum. Currently, these two artifacts are still kept at Thai Nguyen museum. On June 28, 1996, Ban Ca was ranked as a national historical relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information. Source: Bac Kan province electronic information portal
