Magic Fish Stream

Thanh Hoa is a famous land with many beautiful landscapes. One of the most spiritual and ecological destinations in the homeland of Ma River singing is Cam Luong magic fish stream. Cam Luong fish stream is a masterpiece given by nature. This place is not only famous for its wild and rustic beauty but is also associated with mysterious legends from ancient times. Cam Luong commune is known as a land located between rolling limestone mountains on the left bank of the Ma River like a giant hammock running from North to East, hugging Cam Luong into the mountain valley. Stretching throughout the southwest is the Ma River, as clear as a soft silk strip. And right in the heart of that land is a unique magical fish stream. Cam Luong magic fish stream is also known as Ngoc village magic fish stream, associated with the legend of the Snake God. Once upon a time, there was an old couple who still did not have children. Every day, they often go to the fields next to the stream to dig water to plant rice and scoop up fish to catch snails for food. One day the wife scooped up a strange egg. Many times I scooped it up and dropped it into the water, but every time I scooped it, the strange egg was still found in the basket. She brought it home, and the couple discussed letting the chicken hatch to try. One day, when the wife heard the sound of a chicken clucking, she went to look and saw that a snake had hatched from the egg. Frightened, the husband took the baby snake to Ngoc stream to release it, but as soon as he released it, the snake returned home at night. Gradually, snakes live in familiar families like other pets. But since there were snakes in the house, the fields had enough water to plow, and life in the area was prosperous and happy because there was no longer a prolonged drought. Just like that, the snake boy lived with his family and village in peace and prosperity. Over the years, the snake has grown to the size of a water carrying tube, and every noon he climbs up to the rafters to lie down. Suddenly one night there was heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and lightning, and in the morning the villagers saw the dead snake's body washed up at the foot of Truong Sinh mountain (current temple location). Mourning the Snake, the villagers buried him at the foot of the mountain and built a temple. The villagers were told by the gods that the snake boy died because he fought with a sea monster that had come to destroy the village and he was given the divine title "Tu Phu Dragon King" by the gods. Since then, Ngoc stream in front of the temple has flocks of thousands of fish coming to worship day and night. People in the area never eat Ngoc stream fish, and have been accustomed to calling them god fish since then. According to scientists, the fish in Cam Luong stream are bull fish (also known as slope fish), belonging to the carp order and listed in the Vietnam Red Book. This dark blue fish has bright red edges, and every time it swims, it emits streams of light that sparkle like pearls. One strange thing is that the fish in the stream only swim around a stretch of the stream that is more than 100m long and do not swim any further. There was even a season when floodwaters poured in and the water rose all over the road leading to the stream, but strangely the fish never floated away. When high water flooded the stream, the big fish crawled into caves and hollows to hide. Small animals, if swept away by water, can still swim back on their own. There are countless fish here of different sizes, the largest fish weighing about 30kg - that is the king fish. During the day, each flock swims from the cave to the outside. Coming here, visitors can have fun with the fish, feed the fish and watch the natural activities of this fish breed. At the end of the day, the angel fish will swim through a small cave to take refuge inside the mountain. The cave entrance is only an arm's length wide, but the cave is wide and deep, enough to accommodate thousands of fish. One strange thing is that although the fish are very crowded, the water in the stream is always clear and does not have a fishy smell, so it can be used for living or cooking. This is a difficult thing to explain that scientists are still researching. Every year, especially on the occasion of the first lunar month, Cam Luong angel fish stream attracts thousands of tourists from all over to visit and participate in the traditional spirit fish procession festival of the Muong people. People in the area believe that this is a rare breed of magic fish and that the abundance of the fish will bring peace and prosperity to the lives of local people. In the fish stream complex, there is also Ngoc Temple worshiping the four palaces of the Dragon King. Above the fish stream is Cay Dang cave with a shimmering and mysterious scene, many stalactites in magnificent shapes, sparkling like diamonds... An interesting thing is that Visitors enter the cave entrance one way, and after exploring it all, they will go out another way, forming a closed circle. Cam Luong Magic Fish Stream is a unique product of nature, with beautiful landscapes, forests, rivers, streams, villages and gentle, simple people creating a charming picture of a picturesque countryside. Come here once to enjoy the scenery and let go of all your worries and worries...

Ham Rong Bridge

The historic Ham Rong Bridge is located on the North - South route of the "masterpiece" land of Thanh Hoa, charming mountains and water crossing the Ma River, with unique architecture, associated with the development history of the land. The heroic land of Thanh Hoa, the strong will of Thanh Hoa people. Ham Rong Bridge is the first bridge to cross the Ma River in Thanh Hoa, nearly 5km north of Thanh Hoa City center... This is also the only railway bridge to cross the Ma River by France. Built in 1904 in the style of a steel arch bridge without pillars, the most modern in Indochina at that time. In 1946, the bridge was destroyed according to the scorched earth resistance policy of the Viet Minh to stop the advance of the invaders. In 1963, the bridge was restored by Soviet and Chinese experts helping to design and construct it, becoming the current pier bridge, with a width of 17 meters, consisting of 2 steel girder spans, with a railway in the middle. , on both sides are car roads and pedestrian roads. During the escalating war against the North of our country, the US Air Force focused on raiding Ham Rong Bridge to cut off important traffic arteries and prevent support from the Northern rear to the major battlefield in the South. The destruction of Ham Rong was chosen by the White House and the Pentagon as the most important goal in the first war of sabotage in the North. With a plot to cut off North-South support, isolate Ham Rong and focus on completely defeating Ham Rong, at 8:45 a.m. on April 3, 1965, the first 16 American planes bombed the area. Thanh Hoa with a series of raiding locations such as Do Len bridge (Ha Trung), Cun bridge (Nong Cong), Van Trai station (Tinh Gia)... In just two days, April 3 and 4, 1965, the US military used 174 groups and 454 aircraft; threw 627 explosive bombs, 58 slow-explosive bombs (including types from 500 to 1,000kg), and hundreds of missiles and rockets into key areas of Thanh Hoa. In the Ham Rong - Nam Ngan - Yen Vuc area alone, the enemy dived 85 times, bombed and bombarded 80 times, threw 350 bombs, and fired 149 rocket shells. To protect Ham Rong Bridge, on our side, in a working session with the Standing Committee of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee in December 1967, comrade Le Duan affirmed: "If Military Region IV is important, then Thanh Hoa is important." especially because Thanh Hoa is the direct rear of the Binh - Tri - Thien and Laos fronts. Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee commented: "The key point of attacking the military zone at this time is Thanh Hoa, the key point of Thanh Hoa is Ham Rong, protecting Ham Rong bridge is to contribute to protecting smooth traffic." Due to the particularly important location of Ham Rong Bridge, at the North and South ends of the bridge there are two mountains, Ngoc Mountain and Dragon Mountain, which can block most falling bombs. After 2 days of stubborn fighting, Thanh Hoa shot down 47 American enemy planes, captured many enemy pilots, and protected the safety of Ham Rong Bridge. This has proven that the Party's people's war policy, the Party's military art and our people's revolutionary heroism have gone down in history as a legend that has stirred up American public opinion and made our friends love us. justice and peace around the world admired. Years passed. Ham Rong Bridge with the two words "Quyet Thang" majestically carved into the mountainside is a shining symbol of patriotism and revolutionary heroism of the Vietnamese people. For every child of Thanh Hoa, Ham Rong - Ma River is also the embodiment of the homeland, both close and familiar, very sacred and proud. Source: Thanh Hoa School of Politics

Results of radiocarbon (C14) research on the upper layers, magnetic susceptibility, sedimentary set at Con Moong and cultural compatibility comparison with other archaeological sites show that the earliest age of Con Moong is expected. Guess 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. From the results of archaeological excavations, Con Moong cave is one of the very few archaeological sites with the thickest and best-preserved strata today in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. 2.
