Arguably one of the single most impressive things about the Mu Cang Chai Tours visit Thac Ba Temple is Thac Ba Temple’s simply stunning location, situated on the slopes of 70m high Hoang Thi Mountain.
Its great height provides a panoramic view over the smaragdine crib of the poetic Chay River, sheltered in the quiet Yen Binh town, Yen Bai province. For those visitors on Mu Cang Chai Tours, a visit to Thac Ba Temple is a rare chance to get lost in a sacred place that has been a protector of faith, good fortune, and peace for hundreds of years.
Surrounded by legend and devotion, Thac Ba Temple was a gift of gratitude constructed in memory of Princess Minh Dat, a favorite daughter of the Hung Kings dynasty, who instructed those living on the banks of the Chay River how to farm and weave before ascending to a deified spirit. This holy monument has withstood centuries, including the tides of history, when relics of the temple were meticulously relocated during the construction of the Thac Ba Hydropower Plant in the 1960s to protect their sanctity. Even though there have been countless original structural panels in place for 10 centuries, the temple never goes old, standing still to invite its visitors to witness a part of Vietnam’s ancient spiritual life. All Mu Cang Chai Tours visit Thac Ba Temple, and it’s worth a stop.
The architectural magnificence of Thac Ba Temple enthralls every visitor coming to Mu Cang Chai Tours. With masterly skill, the structure is arranged into three parts:
