Hoa Son Cave belongs to Hoa son 1 mountain village, Chieng Mai (Chiềng Mai), Mai Son (Mai Sơn) district. It is reported to be the most beautiful cave in son La. Hoa Son is a natural cave with the depth 30m, the top of the cave is vertical. The bottom of the cave is a spring flowing from Chieng Kheo village to Chieng Mai village with the length of 15km.
If you have ever gone to Hoa Son Cave, you will surprise about its attraction. All the background of Hoa Son Cave still keeps wild and gigantic. One of its features is the secret of nature in the limestone mountain. Seeing it, you will love the inline spring as mentioned above. Still, now, Hoa Son Cave is reported as the longest natural Cave that has been ever found in Son La.
According to Son La people, Chieng Mai spring is a place that many people use to dig the sand, stone, and discover gold and minerals. Many people didn’t know the value of the cave, but when it is lightened, they must agree that Hoa Son is one of the most beautiful cave.
My colleague said that when you go to the cave, you will feel the same as when the Prince seeks the Princess in Thach Sach story. The deeper you go to, the larger the cave is. Especially, there are many fishes in it and you can hear the spring running under your legs. That sounds great and happy.
We predict that Hoa son Cave is created by Chieng Mai spring with the giant underground cave with the length at least 15km, the width from 7-10m and the height more than 10m. This is a large space that a car can run through, someone thinks.
Especially, Hoa son has a system of numerous stalactites and stalagmites “pearls” and statues shaped like animals & Buddha, stone tables…are shown in abundance in the cave. In addition, we can find out gold in tiny amounts, either as flakes or grains in the cave.
