Behind the temple is a mountain system with beautiful stalactite caves that delight visitors. In 2009, Thac Bo Cave in the relic cluster was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism as a National Scenic Monument. Legend has it that Ba Chua Thac Bo Temple worships two female generals, Mrs. Dinh Thi Van from the Muong ethnic group and a lady (name unknown) from the Dao ethnic group. The two women were instrumental in Le Loi's reign, helping people and soldiers transport food and boats through Thac Bo to Muong Le to quell the rebellion. After the two women passed away, they often had epiphanies to help people safely cross the famous dangerous and harsh waterfall when the Da River had not yet blocked its flow that day. Grateful people built a temple to worship the two women to show their respect and hope that they would bless and protect them from danger when passing through the water. You should come to the temple from January 7 to the end of March (lunar calendar) because this is the time with the most bustling festivals.
