Located slightly to the northeast of Cam Mountain, the Thirteenth Palace has 13 floors, each floor has a door that is open to each other and a place for visitors to burn incense and pray when passing through. From the outside, Thirteen Palace looks normal like many other caves, but when you set foot inside, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the mysterious cave floors.

Although there is only one large passage through 13 floors, but without the guidance of local people, it is easy for visitors to get lost in the "rock maze". This makes the visitor's expedition even more attractive and challenging.

Tourists go a little way, to a fairly spacious space in the cave, they will see a burning incense burner. Behind the censer is the door through the 2nd floor and the later the door will get narrower.

Especially at the 12th door through the 13th door, it is very narrow, seeing everyone is afraid that they can't get through. However, you have to know how, stick your head first, and then wriggle your body through the door easily.

In the cave is quite dark, visitors must use a flashlight to see the way and avoid obstacles. When you have passed the 13th door, visitors will reach the exit of the 13th floor and immediately see the cliff called "stone bell".

Visitors can pick up a stone in the cave and knock on the stone bell, the stone emits warm echoes like a temple bell.
