Man Mountain is 381.8m high, has a bottom area of 383ha, located between two streams, Da Trang stream and Luong Ky stream, which flow into Cua Luc bay. Man Mountain was also known as Ban Mountain in the past, a beautiful and typical mountain for the terrestrial limestone mountain system of Ha Long city.
In fairy tales and legends, the name "Multiple mountains and seas, ten thousand great kings" has been recorded. According to Dong Khanh's geographical journal page 406, the National History Office of the Nguyen Dynasty compiled in 1886-1888, Hoanh Bo land, now Ha Long city, had many beautiful rocky mountains at that time such as: Ban Mountain, Truyen Dang Mountain, Hap Mountain, Phuong Cac mountain... But there were only two famous mountains ranked as Famous Sons at that time: Man mountain and Truyen Dang mountain. Historians say that Man Mountain was once the headquarters of the Ly Dynasty army during the resistance war against the Song Dynasty in the 11th century. During the Tran Dynasty, during the two resistance wars against the Yuan-Mongol invaders (1285, 1288), Man Mountain was chosen by Hung Dao king Tran Quoc Tuan as the strategic reserve headquarters of the naval army. After winning the Bach Dang battle in 1288, King Tran Thanh Tong gathered his troops at Man Mountain and set up an altar to worship the gods. Mount Man is a mountain river acupuncture point, in the Northeast region, a place of prosperity.
Bach Thach Linh Tu, worships the only Taoist religion in Vietnam.
At the foot of Man Mountain there is a sacred ancient temple, which the locals simply call the White Stone Temple, and the literal name is Bach Thach Linh Tu. Temple of the Supreme Immortal Taoist; Many localities of Thuong Tien Taoism have established shrines and temples, but they mainly worship worship. Bach Thach Temple, in particular, worships the main Daoist gods, is a unique feature in Vietnam. Bach Thach is compassionate, the harem worships a statue of a goddess made of monolithic white stone weighing over 1 ton, sitting on a dragon throne, sitting in the double position, with a compassionate and pure facial expression. According to legend, the ancient god who guarded the Bach Ngoc Kinh in the sky and Man Son was honored with the title Thien Cung Thuong Tien, old mother of Man Son, and Lady Bach Ngoc. Bach Thach's spirit, when the three religions were of the same origin, they worshiped the Council of the Four Palaces, the Jade Emperor, the Tam Thanh and the Buddhist temple.
Mr. Trinh Van Khoa, a long-time resident of Da Trang village, said that on Man mountain there is a large square rock shaped into a strange chandelier. The elders said that it was a tent from the heavens, the lid was kept on Bai Tho mountain.
In the field, halfway up Man Mountain, there are natural rocks with strange shapes, with the top bulging out to be large and the bottom constricting into a small mushroom-like shape called hat rim rocks. There is a box-shaped rock with square edges and an old man's heart that says it is a chandelier, a chandelier built on Bai Tho Mountain (Poi Tho Mountain also has a square stone slab as legend has it). This strangeness is related to the idiom "old snakes shed their skins, old people fall into their shells". On the east side of the mountain there is a large stone cave called Buddha cave, inside the cave there are ruins of an ancient worshiping temple, because on the ceiling of the cave, under a layer of faint moss, there are ancient Chinese characters, roughly translated as Son Than Tu and fragments of ancient worshiping objects, Deep inside the cave, the stalactites are still pristine and shimmer when they catch the light.
The saddle points halfway up the mountain, with many low-lying areas where water collects and crystal clear water seeps out from between rocks, the locals call it Thien Be (or Heaven Well). Thien Be has four seasons of water: in the summer the water is cool, in the winter the water is warm and in the morning the water surface evaporates like a pan of boiling water. The rising steam mixed with the night mist rippled around the rocky outcrops, looking like waves playing in the sea. At the bottom of the water, shrimps swim and there are many mountain crabs and wild snails living. When they see movement, crabs as big as sea fiddler crabs rise up to defend themselves, looking funny and showing that the living environment on the back of Man Son mountain is very good.
It is very possible that people once lived on Man Mountain. Some scholars researched the history of the museum, where Son Vi - Dong Son cultural deposits were located; In the cave there are many fossilized marine flora. Legend has it that Man Mountain used to be a place of refuge to avoid the enemy and to avoid being hunted when soldiers and swords succeeded the royal court, which often happened in feudal dynasties. Because traces of ancient Chinese characters, fragments of ancient terracotta utensils, shells and tangerine trees appear to have been planted, there are still traces left on the ceiling of the cave. Man mountain tangerine, the tree grows on rocks but is green and bears fruit. When tangerines ripen, many patches of forest are golden. In the past, shepherd children still picked them, but now ripe tangerines are falling from the trees, only to serve as prey for wild animals.
Man Mountain has a rich and diverse flora very similar to Bai Tho Mountain, but far from urban areas there are more trees and wild animals. The patch of land interspersed with rocks has many species of precious medicinal plants, cymbidiums and wild animals such as: antelopes, golden monkeys, monitor lizards, geckos, pheasants, peacocks... The Man mountain relic cluster is recognized by the Ministry of Culture - Sports and Tourism ranked national historical and scenic relics in 2014.

That was Ngo Quyen's Bach Dang victory in 938; 981 by Le Hoan and the peak was the Bach Dang victory in 1288 by Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan. Bach Dang River has become a historical river, Bach Dang stake has become a symbol of the tradition of fighting foreign invaders by waterway of the Vietnamese people. After more than 700 years of sedimentation by the river, the pile pile was deep under layers of mud. It was not until 1953 that people digging soil to build dikes discovered the Bach Dang piles. At first, people did not have the knowledge and awareness to protect cultural heritage, so many piles were pulled up to make rafters and straw piles. After many excavations, archaeologists discovered hundreds of stakes, mainly ironwood, 2.6 to 2.8 m long and 20 to 30 cm in diameter, inserted straight. The average distance between piles is from 0.9 m to 1.5 m. Bach Dang stake yard relic area (including Yen Giang pile yard, Dong Van Muoi pile yard, Dong Ma Ngua pile yard).

After the survey and excavation in 2005. Subsequent archaeological excavations found a total of nearly 200 stakes, showing that wooden stakes planted vertically and diagonally in the Van Muoi field area belonged to many types of wood used. both trunk and branches. The diameter of each pile is from 7 - 10 cm, the pointed part is only about 25 - 30 cm. However, the density of stakes here is very thick, usually 40 - 60 cm apart, some stakes are only 10 - 30 cm apart. According to researchers, this is the southern half of the Bach Dang stake field, while the northern half is the Yen Giang stake field. Because between the two piles there is a strip of high rocky dunes, when the tide is low, the boat cannot cross and is forced to go close to the shore. Therefore, Tran Hung Dao chose a position to place stakes on both sides of the dune to form a V-shaped defense line tightly covering the throat of the Bach Dang River to block the enemy's retreat, creating a glorious victory in the above battle. Bach Dang River in 1288. The pile was then buried under a layer of mud for better preservation.

This is the third pile yard in the Bach Dang pile yard. Located at the mouth of the Kenh River, about 1 km south of the Van Muoi copper pile. The pile yard is 70 m long and 30 m wide, with stakes of many types of wood with diameters from 6 - 22 cm densely arranged in strips like a wall. The three piles of Yen Giang, Dong Van Muoi and Dong Ma Ngua have created large, complex, hidden underground piles under the water, blocking the escape route to the sea, helping to destroy and capture 600 warships with 40,000 people. Yuan-Mongol generals during their third invasion of our country in 1288. Today, the Bach Dang stake yard relic area in Quang Yen town has been surrounded by a protective embankment. Some of the piles were retrieved and the remaining piles were preserved in an on-site display pit. However, most of the Bach Dang piles at this relic have rotted and broken tops, and the body of the pile is still stuck in the mud, but this is an extremely important evidence of the historical battle on the Bach River. Dang year 1288. With the special historical, cultural and scientific values of the relic site, on September 27, 2012, the Prime Minister signed a decision to classify the Bach Dang Victory historical relic site in 2012. 1288 is a special National Monument.

Tran Dynasty historical relic site in Dong Trieu belongs to An Sinh, Trang An, Binh Khe, Thuy An communes. Currently, this is the relic that retains the most imprints of the glorious Tran Dynasty. In the year At Dau, 1225, Ly Chieu Hoang ceded the throne to her husband Tran Canh, marking the transfer of power from the Ly dynasty to the Tran dynasty. From here, the Tran dynasty ruled the country for 175 years, with 12 kings, creating the most glorious dynasty in our country's history. The Tran Dynasty (1225 - 1400) with martial arts and literature, opened a heroic era in the history of building and defending the country. According to documents, the Dong Trieu area was the Tran family's first settlement. Afterwards, this land was given by King Tran Thai Tong to his brother Tran Lieu as a thang moc hamlet. When reigning, each dynasty paid attention to two issues: Duyen Trach was the land where the capital was located, and Am Trach was the place where temples and mausoleums were located. Besides Thang Long continuing to be chosen as the capital, the Tran Dynasty also built and developed two cultural centers and two mausoleum areas in the east and south of the capital. Many researchers have identified Dong Trieu as a major cultural and religious center, along with Thang Long - the political and economic center and Thien Truong Long Hung, the birthplace of the Tran Dynasty. The ancient name of Dong Trieu was An Sinh, but it was only during the reign of King Tran Du Tong that the name was changed, and it became the current Tran Dynasty historical relic site. This is a special national relic area including mausoleums, temples, pagodas, and towers with 14 relics spread out. This is a sacred holy land imbued with historical and cultural spirit and is the original hometown of the Tran Dynasty. Since the 13th century, the Tran Dynasty built Thai Mieu, worshiping the Three Patriarchs of Tran, which is the most important relic site. By the end of the 14th century, many tombs of King Tran were moved to Dong Trieu. The Tran Dynasty historical relics area includes 3 groups, the temple relics group, the mausoleum relics group and the pagoda relics group. Temples and mausoleums are attached to the Tran Dynasty's temples. Along with building mausoleums, the Tran Dynasty also built temples and shrines to worship the predecessors, and many pagodas also sprang up accordingly. But at that time, Dong Trieu only played the role of a mausoleum area and had not yet become the Buddhist center of Dai Viet. It was not until King Tran Nhan Tong became a monk that he went to Yen Tu mountain to practice and founded the Truc Lam Zen sect. He unified the previously existing Zen sects and the entire Buddhist church of the Tran dynasty under one umbrella. During this period, Dong Trieu became an important Buddhist center. The Tran kings built here a dense system of temples, tombs, pagodas and towers in a large landscape area stretching up to the slopes of Yen Tu mountain. Ngoa Van Ho Thien Pagoda is where the Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong preached sermons, and is also a place associated with the cause of propagating Buddhism in Dai Viet, training monks at a higher level. On Ho Thien Pagoda there is also a 7-storey stone tower whose architecture is still a mystery to researchers, attracting many researchers and history lovers from everywhere to visit and study. rescue. Quynh Lam Pagoda is considered the first Buddhist university in Vietnam, possessing a Buddha statue of one of the Four Great Elements of An Nam. The tower garden in the pagoda and the stone tower tombs of Zen masters have unique architecture, a typical cultural heritage not only of Quang Ninh province but of the whole of Vietnam. Over time, natural disasters destroyed, war ravaged, many ancient works in the Tran Dynasty historical site in Dong Trieu are only ruins. However, those ruins still retain their value in the hearts of the people. An Sinh in the past, Dong Trieu today is where the Tran Dynasty kings expressed the fallen leaves ideology of returning to the roots of the Vietnamese people. The things that still exist or even the things that are only left underground are still timeless heritages that not only carry the historical value of the famous dynasty but also demonstrate the 700 years of existence of pure Vietnamese Buddhism.

According to scientists, the Ha Long area and the surrounding coastal and island areas of the bay include many terrigenous and carbonate sedimentary formations, ranging in age from the Paleozoic to the Neoproterozoic era. Many sedimentary formations in this area contain paleontological traces in various forms of fossils, including groups of animals and plants that have completely or almost completely disappeared from the earth. Geological history of Ha Long Bay, opened nearly 500 million years ago, with very different and quite complex paleogeographical circumstances. The presence of the bay and the islands in the bay are unique evidence of the earth's historical development, including geological characteristics and the continuous movement and development of the Karst terrain, the Fengcong system. and Fengling. The special terrain of Ha Long Bay is closely related to the climatic history and tectonic movement of the earth. The islands here are quite ideal models of Karst formed in tropical, humid conditions. The entire Ha Long Bay area is a Karst landscape over many millions of years, with pyramid-shaped, eroded Karst towers, creating an outstanding and unique beauty around the world. Stalactites in caves in the Bay Area are younger than other caves. Rainwater flows down through cracks in the cave ceiling and walls. Along the way, it dissolves and erodes limestone and deposits it into stalactites on the ceiling and stalagmites on the floor... Thousands of islands and dozens of beautiful caves have created the aesthetic value of the Bay. The beauty of Ha Long is created from 3 elements: rock, water and sky. The system of rocky islands in Ha Long has many shapes and forms, blending with the sky and sea, creating a watercolor painting. The inside of the large rocky islands is attractive with beautiful and strange caves. Dau Go Cave evokes an overwhelming feeling, with stalactites of various shapes and sizes. Thien Cung Cave is like a majestic and beautiful temple. Bo Nau Cave has an arched door, with countless stalactites hanging down as soft as willow branches. Sung Sot Cave is surprisingly beautiful, with stalactites in the shapes of wild chickens, toads, dragons, waterfalls, and many other shapes, opening up a fairy tale world. Caves such as Tam Cung, Trinh Nu, Ba Hang, Tien Long,... each cave has unique and amazing beauty. The tectonic history of Ha Long Bay has gone through very different paleogeographical circumstances, many times of mountain formation, sea retreat, subsidence, sea advance... Ha Long Bay still retains the imprints of the orogeny process. , the great trough of the earth, has the structure of ancient ramparts and trenches. Ha Long Bay area was once a deep sea in the Odovician - Silurian periods (about 500 - 410 million years ago), a shallow sea in the Carboniferous - Permian periods (about 340 - 250 million years ago), a coastal sea in the late Paleogene period, early Neogene period (about 26 - 20 million years ago) and experienced several sea encroachments during the Anthropocene period (about 2 million years ago). In the Triassic period (240 - 195 million years ago), when the earth in general and Europe in particular had a hot and dry climate, the Ha Long Bay area was wet swamps, with forests of cycads and giant ferns. accumulation of many generations... The Karst topography of Ha Long Bay has global significance and is fundamental to geomorphological science. The geological environment is also the foundation for other values of the bay, such as biodiversity, archaeological culture and other human values. The total number of plant species living on the islands in Ha Long Bay is about over a thousand species. A number of different plant species communities have been found, such as mangrove species, island sandbank plants, species growing on mountain slopes and cliffs, on mountain tops or growing at the mouths of caves or caves. rocks. Researchers from the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have discovered 7 endemic plant species of Ha Long Bay. These species are only adapted to living on the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and cannot be found anywhere else in the world, such as: Ha Long cycad, purple astragalus, Ha Long palm, antler astragalus, anthurium. Ha Long ear, Ha Long's five family envelopes, golden flower guard girl. According to statistics, the closed evergreen, tropical humid forest ecosystem in Ha Long and Bai Tu Long has: 477 species of magnolia, 12 species of ferns and 20 species of mangrove plants; As for animals, there are also 4 species of amphibians, 10 species of reptiles, 40 species of birds and 14 species of mammals. The results of research, archeology and culture show that the presence of prehistoric inhabitants in Ha Long Bay area quite early, has created successive ancient cultural forms, including including Soi Nhu culture (about 18,000 - 7,000 years BC), Cai Beo culture (7,000 - 5,000 years BC) and Ha Long culture (about 3,500 - 5,000 years ago). The main way of life of Soi Nhu's owner is "catching shellfish, including gathering fruits, digging tubers and roots", knowing how to catch fish but not having a fishing career. The Cai Beo site is one of the first pieces of evidence to confirm that the ancestors of the ancient Vietnamese people, from a very early age, confronted the sea and developed here a brilliant culture, a meeting point. convergence of many different elements and nuances into a very old traditional cultural line in Vietnam and Southeast Asia: the Cuoi cultural line. Regarding the way of residence and living of Cai Beo people, in addition to hunting and gathering, there is also exploitation of the sea. Ha Long Bay is an area with outstanding global values, most notably aesthetic, scientific, historical, archaeological values... In 1962, the Ha Long Bay area was recognized as a monument. national landscape. In 1994, Ha Long Bay was recognized by UNESCO as a world natural heritage for its aesthetic value and was re-recognized for the second time, with exceptional global value in geology and geomorphology in 2000. With the special historical, cultural, scientific and aesthetic values of the bay, the Prime Minister decided to classify Ha Long Bay Scenic Landscape as a special national monument (Decision No. 1272/QD -TTg, August 12, 2009).
