Am Tien Cave Pagoda is located in the valley, surrounded by rocky cliffs, with a prominent pagoda roof printed on the water surface, creating a watercolor painting in the distance.

The pagoda plays an important role in Vietnamese history. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Nhat (former Director of the Institute of History), Am Tien cave pagoda is like a separate world. In the past, this was the place where King Dinh kept tigers and leopards to punish criminals, right under his feet. Dia Mountain is Ao Giai, where the king raised prizes to throw sinners into the pond for the prize to eat. This is also the place where King Le Dai Hanh imprisoned prisoners of war such as Quach Quan Bien and Trieu Phung Huan of the Song dynasty that invaded Dai Co Viet in 981, only to return them to envoy Ly Giac in 986. As a testament to history, Am Tien Pagoda is where Queen Mother Duong Van Nga practiced in the last years of her life. To talk about this story, there was once a poem: “Two shoulders carry two Kings Two queens of two dynasties practiced at Am Tien Pagoda Followed her husband to attack Tong Binh Chiem There is merit to the country, but no luck to life."
