Did You Know?
Meaning of Tam Cốc
The name 'Tam Cốc' literally translates to 'Three Caves' in Vietnamese, referring to the three main water-filled caves (Hang Cả, Hang Hai, Hang Ba) that visitors explore by boat.
Ha Long Bay on Land
Tam Cốc-Bích Động is famously known as 'Ha Long Bay on Land' due to its breathtaking landscape of towering limestone karsts rising from emerald rice paddies, reminiscent of Ha Long Bay's seascape.
Foot-Powered Boats
A unique and memorable aspect of the Tam Cốc boat tour is that many local women row the sampans using their feet, a traditional technique passed down through generations to ease back strain.
Ancient Mountain Pagoda
Bích Động Pagoda is an ancient Buddhist temple complex built into a limestone mountain, comprising three separate pagodas: Hạ (Lower), Trung (Middle), and Thượng (Upper), offering stunning views.
