The Tam Cung Grotto or Three-palace Grotto is situated
in the centre of Hạ Long Bay, 5 km from Sửng Sôt Grotto to the
northeast. The grotto itself is divided into three parts; after
threading the stone cracks, you find the first chamber. Many beautiful
forms can be garnered from the rocky shapes.
Continuing on to the second chamber, the bumpy way leads to a spring
with fresh water. The last room contains further incredible stone
depictions.
Tam Cung Grotto lies in Mây Đèn, a luxuriant island
nearly isolated from other islands. Mây Ðèn’s cliffs are extremely
vertical, while its forest is flourishing.
Entering its first chamber, one can hear the sound of t’rung or stone
musical instrument from near and far. Pushing further inside, tourists
meet a “fairy” whose white beard flies in the wind climbing the
mountain. High in the wall of the chamber there stand three statues
representing prosperity, happiness and longevity, looking down at the
earthly world. From the ceiling falls down a
stalactite which resembles the bud of a hydrangea among a garden of
stone flowers. Going through a narrow passage, one comes to a natural
museum of lively animals, including lions, seals, even god of the sea.
In the middle of the second chamber lies a stream murmuring all year
round, making the two surrounding cliffs rustle. In the last chamber,
tourists can find an imposing bas-relief in which are carved elaborate
strange images, lying layer after layer in a harmonious layout. One can
figure out flowers, bamboos, stone curtains, or sleeping elephants.
