Pac Bo cave
Before 1979 Coc Po cave was about 15 m2 in area, in front of the cave is a large stream flowing from the rock underground, the source of the stream on the northern side of the mountain is China territory. In the border war 1979 the Chinese used explosive and destroyed Coc Po cave. Today part of Coc Po cave was restored to serve visitors.
Pac Po Grotto is located at the mouth of the confluence of two rivers namely Bang Giang and Hien rivers. Its historicity is due to the fact that Ho Chi Minh on his return from China established a revolutionary force at a cave near Pac Bo valley inhabited by the Nung tribes. He organized the revolutionary movement by training the cadres, translated the History of Communist Party in the USSR into the Vietnamese language and also edited a revolutionary news paper called the “Independent Vietnam” from Pac Bo Grotto. The Pac Bo Vestiges Area Exhibition Centre has an array of display of artifacts of the revolution with a Ho Chi Minh House of Remembrance. A stream and a hill near Pac Bo Grotto were named as “Lenin Stream” and “Karl Marx Mountains”.
