| Co Tien cave |
|
Illuminating the battery light, burning torches and scattering husk to mark the way in, we witness the inner scenes with many interests.
Passing many jagged stones, we reach the center of Co Tien cave. The Fairy bed appears in front of us and it is a big yellow rock as flat as being sharpened. That rock is 3m wide, 5m long and a slightly slopping toward the small rock (legend has it that it is the Fairy’s pillow).
Below is the large stone column which up to 5 people can emplace. According to Trung Khanh people, that is a sky pillar. In legendary, the Fairy is punished to look for this pillar, to ensure the heaven not to be broken.
About 30m from the fairy’s bed, there is a place called “Fairy’s field”. It is a yellow sandy strip with the shape of terraces, looking very nice. The above is a natural pool of water, notably that the pool can never be drained because it can refill itself. The water percolates from the bottom of the slab and vent to the outside. It is estimated the inside of Co Tien cave has the area of 1000m2. The stalactites and the small caves create a fascinating and mysterious beauty for the cave.
