History

Description

Hang Thiên Hương (Heavenly Scent Cave), also named Thien Huống Dong, is a cave temple located at the Tam Cốc-Bích Động scenic area. However, it is not officially part of the Tam Cốc tour, although the boats pass only 100 m away on the river. They could make a stop here, for a short half-hour detour, but it is probably easier to use the road to the cave temple from Tam Cốc.

Thien Huong Cave is also called Sky Cave, because it has numerous openings to the sky, through which the sunlight enters the cave.
