The cave is enriched with rich legends of Tay ethnic group, Nguom Ngao in Tay language means "Tiger Cave". Legend has it that, in the past, there were many ferocious tigers living in the cave. People set traps to catch all the tigers and have lived peacefully ever since. Therefore, the Tay people named the cave Nguom Ngao.

      Have lunch at a local restaurant.


      Afternoon we will head to Khuoi Ky stone village. The road leading to the village is paved with cobblestone. The village is currently home to 16 Tay ethnic households and 14 stone-built houses on stilts, which were constructed in the 16th century. 16 houses in Khuoi Ky stand together, symbolizing the strong bond between families. The custom of building stone houses comes from the Tay peopleโ€™s belief in the worshiping of the Stone God. They believe that the Stone God has strong natural powers that can protect them and bless them with a peaceful life.


      After that, we will visit Phia Thap Incense Village, well-known for producing traditional incense of Nung An people. Made totally from natural materials, Phia Thap incense sticks release a spicy and strong scent, different from incense made in other places. Therefore, to the villagers, incense making is not only a craft to earn income but also their great pride and the historical bond among generations. With exceptional cultural and traditional values, Phia Thap has become an interesting destination for tourists in Cao Bang.
