There is a place that has been praised as a heavenly beautiful site with charming scenery, numerous mighty mountains, and unique caves. It is "Truc Temple- Ngu Dong Thi Son" historical and cultural vestige area.
This interesting site is located in Quyen Son Village, Thi Son Commune, Kim Bang District, 8 km from Phu Ly City (Ha Nam Province). Truc Temple is located along Day River under Cam Mountain. It is not only famous for its beautiful scenery but also for its meaningful "Dam" music festival to worship His Excellency Ly Thuong Kiet, a national hero.

Truc Temple Festival is opened annually at the beginning of the spring from lunar January 10 to February 6. Its most outstanding feature is the "Dam" music festival including 30 music performances with more than 1000 poetic lines that were composed by His Excellency Ly Thuong Kiet.
Next to Truc Temple is Cam Mountain 10 ha large with "Ngu Dong Son" cave inside. Ngu Dong Son consists of five uninterrupted caves that go deep for hundred meters into the mountain. The first cave is not very wide and looks like a vaulted entrance. Landscape here is very special. In the sunrise, the glow will reflect colorful cave walls, and in the afternoon it is sparkled with magical purple.
From this cave, a small niche will lead visitors to other caves. There are innumerable stalactites in different shapes and sizes. These stalactites usually rise from the ground and walls with diverse color, porosity and gloss. Ancient rocks and new stalactites hide deeply in the dark and glow like pearls when being shined.
Moreover, when climbed up the Cam Mountain, on the peak tourists can see a natural stone in the shape of a chessboard. Legend says that on moonlit nights fairies usually come here to open festivals, drink, play chess and enjoy landscapes.
