The Cave of Fairies is
related to the myth about three fairies asking their father, the king
of Heaven, to let them go down to the earth for one day. Enchanted by
the beauty of the earth, they turned out to forget their obligation to
return to heaven. As a result, the kind got furious; he told another
god called Thien Loi to seek and punish them. At first, the fairies hid
in a cave 200 meter high above the sea level, but they could not get
away from Thien Loi. He stepped on the mountain, breaking a part of it
into pieces. Knowing that they could never escape and their father
would never forgive them, the three fairies jumped off the cave. The
river carried their bodies to its lower course, where we find Bao Nhai
district nowadays.
Inside the
Cave of Fairies, the Stream of Fairies flows ethereally down from
above like a strip of silk. Like a skillful sculptor, the water turned
the stones inside the cave into a collection of beautiful and creative
artworks: an elephant drinking water, a flying eagle, etc. About 200m
away from the Stream of Fairy, there is another huge cave where stones
lay on one another in layer to create a spectacular maze. Walking on
for 500m, visitors can spot the sparkling stalactite towers of
different sizes reflecting the lights from outside of the cave. After
visiting the cave, visitors can swim in the sunshine of Floral Island, a
small island on the side of the mountain.
If you happen
to want beauty, resilience and wealth to come to you, do not forget to
ask the fairies to give you all of those when visiting the Cave of
Fairies, your wishes will come true.
