Going deep into the cave, tourists can admire
the real world as well as many virtual shapes. Looking at the right side of the
cave wall, we can be surprised at many stalactites with vivid and funny images
like thousands of shapes and appearances of flowers, leaves, trees, birds and
wild animals. All seems to move around. The stone is no longer idle but turns
into the animals with a sense of mind and soul according to the imagination of
the visitors. On the cave arc, the stalactites are dripping like the arrows for
hunting wild animals of the ancient Muong ethnics.The droplets at the top of
the stalactites are shining like glittering stars to erase the dark space in
the cave when the light is shining at them.
Large and small series of
stalactites are like in a natural drawing with brilliant colors and have many
different shapes depending on the people’s imagination. This makes us feel like
walking in a lively world together with hidden creatures turning to stones in
millions of years.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao, the guardian
of Hum cave said: At the beginning of spring or on the lunar first and
fifteenth day, Ngoc Luong people, especially the guardians, often visit the pagoda
in Hum cave to incense and pray for peace. The old Hum cave had many
stalactites shaped like Buddha images, therefore, the authorities and people in
Ngoc Luong commune set up Buddhist churches to show their worship of the sacred
cave. The sacred Buddhist world in Hum cave is being worshipped by people with
the desire for health, peace and abundant crops.
Mr. Bui Ngoc Ban, Deputy Chairman of
Ngoc Luong Commune People’s Committee said: At present, Hum cave is well known
by many visitors, especially the young who like experiencing and exploiting new
places. On the vacation days like 30/04, 1/5 and 2/9, a lot of the young groups
go to the cave to exploit the mysterious beauty of the cave. Therefore, to
promote the historic values of million years of Hum cave and meet the spiritual
demand and exploring need of the people and tourists, Ngoc Luong Commune
People’s Committee has set up a Management Board of Nghia Moutain Historical
Complex. This board will focus on planning, maintaining the signposts, parking
areas to ensure the order and security here.
