 Some 2-3 km southeast of Trong Mai Islet lies
Bo Nau
Cave or Pelican Cave. This vaulted grotto covers 200
m2. The floor of the grotto is wide and flat, but
not deep, and its wall features lots ofstalactites
and stalagmites.
At the entrance are three stones, looking like three
fairies with their heads close to one another. Two
men appear to be playing chess,with the third
serving as a referee.
Bo Nau Cave is one of the
beautiful caves in Halong
Bay.
The name Bo Nau or Bo Nong is associated with the
fact that pelicans often take shelter here. If
Dau
Go Cave lies completely inside the island, Bo Nau
opens its mouth at the side of the island.
Stalactites fall down from the roof of the grotto in
different clusters. Meanwhile stalagmites grow up in
different shapes and layers. Is this that the life
out there is so noisy that the three fairies have to
choose this tranquil place to play chess? Turning
southward, Bo Nau Cave enjoys cool wind. Standing
there, one can hear the murmur of the sea all year
round. Tour to
Halong.
