Van Trinh Cave Động Vân Trình
A lit cave inside Mo Mountain
Walk the lit chambers of a cave of nearly 3,500 square metres inside Mo Mountain, a show cave in Nho Quan. The cave splits into a daylight front and a deep rear that once needed a torch. The literary name is núi Thổ Tích, in xã Thượng Hòa. The old measure is 32 dặm west of Gia Viễn.

The cave sits in the heart of núi Mõ, xã Thượng Hòa, huyện Nho Quan, at nearly 3,500 square metres. The folk name is núi Mõ. The literary name is núi Thổ Tích. The mountain lies 32 dặm west of the old Gia Viễn district seat. The cave on the slope splits in two: the front opens to the light, and the rear is deep enough that a torch was used, and wide enough for a few hundred people.

What you walk now is the lit stone: columns, curtains, and a second chamber with the ceiling still in the lamp. A torch was for the deep rear. The front chambers are lit.
