Thach Dong Ha Tien

About this location

Thach Dong Ha Tien - A mysterious cave space Thach Dong (also known as Thach Dong Thon Van) is a unique scenic heritage site located in Ha Tien ward, An Giang province. The cave is a sheer limestone monolith standing about 50m high, prominently situated right next to National Highway 80, surrounded by tall sugar palm trees and flat plains bordering Cambodia. This landmark is associated with the folk tale of the brave Thach Sanh entering the cave to rescue the princess and defeat the giant eagle. Later, it served as a resilient border defense post for the 207th Infantry Battalion. Cinematographically, the vast cavern with its magnificent Permian stalactite system (250 million years old) creates mysterious, deep, and deeply magical angles. Thach Dong Ha Tien is suitable for historical films, war films, action-adventures, fantasy, legends, and works exploiting majestic natural landscapes.
