Tang Chon Cave
Highlight • Cave
The cave is located directly behind
the famous Linh Ung Pagoda. Inside the grotto are several altars and Buddha statues. Particularly noteworthy are three Buddhas symbolizing the past, present, and future. The cave is partially open to the sky, which, when the sun shines, creates a mystical play of light and a special atmosphere—ideal for photography.
In the center, there is an altar-like structure as well as stone sculptures carved deep into the rock.
Compared to the more famous Huyen Khong Cave, it often feels somewhat quieter and more intimate.

Contents: It houses over 200 Buddha statues, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats and is considered the largest collection of stone Buddhist statues in Vietnam.
