2. Learn about the history of Trung Trang Cave Hai Phong
Trung Trang Cave in Hai Phong is a natural cave that runs through the mountain, with a length of approximately 300 meters. Over millions of years of formation, the inside of the cave has become an exotic, unique system of stalactites and stalagmites in various shapes.
Previously, the cave was the habitat of bats, so the locals used to call it Bat Cave. During the resistance wars, the cave was used as a military base and was also called Navy Cave. Nowadays, Trung Trang Cave preserves many heroic historical traces of Vietnamese people in the struggle for independence.
The cave attracts tourists not only with its magnificent natural scenery but also with the legends associated with Cat Ba Island.
According to the stories passed down from generation to generation, Cat Ba has always been a beautiful archipelago with numerous caves. Therefore, foreign invaders always sought opportunities to invade the region.
At that time, Queen Trung Trang gathered young men to fight against the invaders and protect their homeland. After successfully repelling the enemy, the Queen returned to the cave. In gratitude for her bravery, the locals named the cave after her.

Walking about 20 meters further, you will be stunned by the shimmering beauty of stalactites and stalagmites and the image of a golden-haired lion - the guardian of the treasure of the Queen.
