According to people in Bac Kan, in the past, people in Vi Huong - Bach Thong commune went down the Cau River to bring back the Shakyamuni Buddha statue by boat to worship Hoa Son. The Buddha statue is very heavy, so when going back up to Vi Huong, to Bo Mi, Cao Ky commune, the boat kept spinning and could not move. Until it was dark, the people going to pick up the statue had to set up tents to sleep in Bo Mi until the next day. calculate further. The next morning, when they woke up, those who went to process the statue panicked and could not see the Buddha. They had to light a large bunch of incense and pray to know where the Buddha was and build a temple to worship there. Before he could finish speaking, the incense smoke flew to the other side of the river, moving inwards towards the mountain. Following the direction of the smoke, they discovered the Buddha statue sitting at the highest point in a beautiful and spacious cave. Feeling the mystery of Buddha, people built a pagoda right here, and named it Thach Long (Stone Dragon), meaning that this is a pagoda located in a sacred cave.
