Looking towards the North from An Phu mount, Duong Nham moutain chain is like a giant rockery in the middle of the vast Kinh Thay river valley. In the north of Duong Nham is a river bending along the foot of moutain range, which creates pictureque landscapes.
During the resistance war against the Nguyen-Mong invaders, King Tran Nhan Tong commanded the army to be stationed on the mountain to stop enemy attack on maritime traffic.

Kinh Chu cave is a scenic spot of the Northeast. Many kings, celebrities, and mandarins from various times such as Pham Su Manh, King Le Thanh Tong, Vu Can, Minister of Rites in the Later Le dynasty, Truong Quoc Dung, Minister of Punishments in the Nguyen dynasty, etc. came, were moved by the natural scenery, and left poems on the cliffs. These are written in 54 epitaphs engraved in the cave walls by local stone-cutters.
