Two kilometers south-west of
Ti Tốp Beach is the Mê Cung
Grotto or Bewitching Grotto. It formed on Lom Bò Island, and seen from
afar, the entrance is like the roof of a house denting the island’s
side.
After a narrow crack only allowing one person through at a time, many
partitions appear. These chambers are somewhat small and narrow, but
very refined, and with many stalagmites and stalactites bearing
beautiful forms.
Threading your way through narrow passages, you find a dim light from
afar, which signals the exit of the grotto. On getting out of the
grotto, climb up several rugged stone stairs and look down, you see a
large round lake surrounded by the mountain. Its waters is blue all year
round. The lake is home to many kinds of fish, shrimps, octopuses,
algae, see weed, and coral. Lying adjacent to the lake there is an area
of old trees popularly known as an alluring “royal garden”.
It is dry and well-ventilated, and features a thick layer of shells
forming the foundation of the entrance. Formerly, this layer was
1.2-meter-thick and semi-fossilized. In the course of research, there
was also a fossilized animal’s skeleton discovered in the interior. The
Mê Cung Grotto has been recognized by archaeologists as one of the
vestiges of the pre-Ha Long new Stone Age culture, that existed between
7,000 and 10,000 years ago.
Pushing into the grotto, tourists feel like walking in a palace of a
Persian king. Hearing the murmur from out of nowhere, you think that
Scheherazade is telling the stories of the Thousand and One Nights for
her king.
On the island, there are many ancient trees casting long reflections on
the water of the bay. They are home to many species of birds and animals
(monkeys, chamois and varans).
