Know before you go

• The main tourist routes in Tam Coc can be mentioned: Tam Coc - Thai Vi temple - Thien Huong cave. The reason for the name Tam Coc is that it has three caves linked together by the Ngo Dong river: Ca cave, Hai cave, and Ba cave. In these caves, there are stalactites hanging down in extremely special shapes, along with scenery on the river that feels as if a new horizon opens after exiting the cave, making visitors from all over the world extremely excited.
