Thanh Hoa is a famous land with many beautiful landscapes. One of the most spiritual and ecological destinations in the homeland of Ma River singing is Cam Luong magic fish stream. Cam Luong fish stream is a masterpiece given by nature. This place is not only famous for its wild and rustic beauty but is also associated with mysterious legends from ancient times. Cam Luong commune is known as a land located between rolling limestone mountains on the left bank of the Ma River like a giant hammock running from North to East, hugging Cam Luong into the mountain valley. Stretching throughout the southwest is the Ma River, as clear as a soft silk strip. And right in the heart of that land is a unique magical fish stream. Cam Luong magic fish stream is also known as Ngoc village magic fish stream, associated with the legend of the Snake God. Once upon a time, there was an old couple who still did not have children. Every day, they often go to the fields next to the stream to dig water to plant rice and scoop up fish to catch snails for food. One day the wife scooped up a strange egg. Many times I scooped it up and dropped it into the water, but every time I scooped it, the strange egg was still found in the basket. She brought it home, and the couple discussed letting the chicken hatch to try. One day, when the wife heard the sound of a chicken clucking, she went to look and saw that a snake had hatched from the egg. Frightened, the husband took the baby snake to Ngoc stream to release it, but as soon as he released it, the snake returned home at night. Gradually, snakes live in familiar families like other pets. But since there were snakes in the house, the fields had enough water to plow, and life in the area was prosperous and happy because there was no longer a prolonged drought. Just like that, the snake boy lived with his family and village in peace and prosperity. Over the years, the snake has grown to the size of a water carrying tube, and every noon he climbs up to the rafters to lie down. Suddenly one night there was heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and lightning, and in the morning the villagers saw the dead snake's body washed up at the foot of Truong Sinh mountain (current temple location). Mourning the Snake, the villagers buried him at the foot of the mountain and built a temple. The villagers were told by the gods that the snake boy died because he fought with a sea monster that had come to destroy the village and he was given the divine title "Tu Phu Dragon King" by the gods. Since then, Ngoc stream in front of the temple has flocks of thousands of fish coming to worship day and night. People in the area never eat Ngoc stream fish, and have been accustomed to calling them god fish since then. According to scientists, the fish in Cam Luong stream are bull fish (also known as slope fish), belonging to the carp order and listed in the Vietnam Red Book. This dark blue fish has bright red edges, and every time it swims, it emits streams of light that sparkle like pearls. One strange thing is that the fish in the stream only swim around a stretch of the stream that is more than 100m long and do not swim any further. There was even a season when floodwaters poured in and the water rose all over the road leading to the stream, but strangely the fish never floated away. When high water flooded the stream, the big fish crawled into caves and hollows to hide. Small animals, if swept away by water, can still swim back on their own. There are countless fish here of different sizes, the largest fish weighing about 30kg - that is the king fish. During the day, each flock swims from the cave to the outside. Coming here, visitors can have fun with the fish, feed the fish and watch the natural activities of this fish breed. At the end of the day, the angel fish will swim through a small cave to take refuge inside the mountain. The cave entrance is only an arm's length wide, but the cave is wide and deep, enough to accommodate thousands of fish. One strange thing is that although the fish are very crowded, the water in the stream is always clear and does not have a fishy smell, so it can be used for living or cooking. This is a difficult thing to explain that scientists are still researching. Every year, especially on the occasion of the first lunar month, Cam Luong angel fish stream attracts thousands of tourists from all over to visit and participate in the traditional spirit fish procession festival of the Muong people. People in the area believe that this is a rare breed of magic fish and that the abundance of the fish will bring peace and prosperity to the lives of local people. In the fish stream complex, there is also Ngoc Temple worshiping the four palaces of the Dragon King. Above the fish stream is Cay Dang cave with a shimmering and mysterious scene, many stalactites in magnificent shapes, sparkling like diamonds... An interesting thing is that Visitors enter the cave entrance one way, and after exploring it all, they will go out another way, forming a closed circle. Cam Luong Magic Fish Stream is a unique product of nature, with beautiful landscapes, forests, rivers, streams, villages and gentle, simple people creating a charming picture of a picturesque countryside. Come here once to enjoy the scenery and let go of all your worries and worries...

Because this is not only a harmonious and unique combination of Eastern and Western architectural art, but also a miracle that our ancestors left behind for future generations.

The church is made of mainly stone and wood. On each stone and wooden slab, flowers bloom with exquisite carvings. Most notably, the art of stone sculpture is extremely soft and flexible, with pieces of stone only 3.5cm thick. The entire architectural complex consists of 9 rafters with 9 different stages of workers, so each rafters has a distinct cultural feature, reflecting the rich aesthetics of skilled craftsmen. Furthermore, the church was built entirely of stone without the need for a reinforced concrete core. The most difficult part of this project is the foundation treatment. Because Kim Son is inherently a muddy alluvial land, Parish Priest Peter Tran Luc had to exploit and transport thousands of tons of stone from a mountain in Thanh Hoa to prevent subsidence, including blocks of stone weighing up to 20 kg. ton. At the same time, Mr. Luc also exploited and transported hundreds of ironwood trees from Nghe An mountain forests to build the project. However, what makes cultural researchers and architects fascinated about the Phat Diem Cathedral complex is the harmonious combination of Eastern pagoda architecture with Western Gothic architecture. Mr. Sau is the one who designed and created the church with extremely new details. It could also be because he was not a Christian but a Buddhist, so in his design, he had a very ingenious combination of Western church architecture and curved roof architecture like that of a communal house. in Buddhism. The artistic quintessence at Phat Diem stone church also clearly demonstrates the harmony between stone carving art and Vietnamese wood carving art, such as the symbol of the cross (symbol of Catholicism) sitting on the lotus (symbol of the Catholic religion). Buddhist symbols), Buddhist "swastika" letters engraved on rosary flowers, stone and wood reliefs carved with images of Jesus and saints; In which the saints dressed in Vietnamese style look so vivid but close, as familiar as watching folk paintings; The stone pillar carved in the shape of a lotus flower represents the stages of "birth - old age - illness - death" according to Buddhist philosophy.

There is also a Bible verse carved into stone in early Vietnamese. It can be said that Phat Diem Stone Cathedral is an interference, a harmonious and sophisticated combination of Western church architecture and traditional Eastern architecture. Catholicism brings faith to people, but the architectural style and worship space with images of communal houses and pagodas are deeply ingrained in the subconscious of Asians in general and Vietnamese people in particular, creating peace and protection, this is also a symbol of the meeting between Catholicism and the religious traditions of the Vietnamese people from a very early age.
