The terrain of Mua cave looks majestic with rolling mountains surrounding a whole large delta, like a rampart to protect the whole former imperial citadel of Hoa Lu town.

The legend has it that the name of the Mua Cave or Dance Cave was originated from Tran dynasty (1225 to 1400) when the King chose the place as a retreat where he enjoyed dances performed by beautiful imperial consorts.

Located on a spacious area of around 800 sqm., the mountain housing Mua cave has the shape of a giant bell amidst the gorgeous kart-lime mountains.

Visitors have to climb 486 stone steps to reach the top of mountain and it is extremely worth for their efforts: the breathtaking scenery of Tam Coc area appears in front of their eyes like the majestic scenes in a Wal Disney’s fairy motion picture.
