Nguom Boc Cave

Nguom Boc Cave

Nguom Boc - meaning Dry Cave in the local language - is located on the west slope of Lam Son mountain range, in Ban Nua hamlet, Lam Son village, Hong Viet commune. This is the place that marks many historical events about President Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary life in the years 1942-1945. From late March to August 1942, President Ho Chi Minh moved from Pac Bo to the base in Lam Son to direct the revolution. Here, people often secretly go back and forth to Nguom Boc cave, affectionately called "Mr. Ke" by local people. In May 1945, at Nguom Boc cave, President Ho Chi Minh attended a meeting with leaders of the Cao - Bac - Lang Joint Provincial Party Committee to prepare for the historic general uprising in August 1945. Nguom Boc is also where Le To's military workshop lived and worked during the resistance war against the French. Here in October 1950, President Ho Chi Minh attended and directed the Conference summarizing the Border Campaign; talked with workers at the Le To military factory and representatives of the people of Hong Viet commune, Hoa An district. Archaeologists also found many relics in Nguom Boc showing that this was once the residence of prehistoric people of the early Neolithic period, equivalent to the early Hoa Binh Culture, about 10,000 years ago today. In the famous legend Pu Luong - Slao Cai of the Tay people, Nguom Boc is the first residence of these two legendary characters in Cao Bang. Geologically, Nguom Boc cave developed in limestone formed in shallow sea conditions about 270 - 360 million years ago (Permian Carboniferous period). At the cave entrance, traces of shelves and ancient flows are clearly visible, evidence appears to have been raised during the recent period (called the neo-tectonic period). Nguom Boc Cave was recognized as a national revolutionary historical relic according to Decision No. 02/2004/QD/BVHTT of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism dated January 19, 2004.
