Stretching along our country's coastline, there are hundreds of lighthouses of different sizes, but Hon Dau Island Lighthouse is still extremely prominent. It is surrounded by an ancient primeval forest and located more than 1km from the mainland, it can be considered a world separate from the hustle and bustle out there. Right from the moment we set foot on the island, we encountered sycamore and banyan trees with large, muscular trunks with giant python-sized roots slithering on the ground. Hon Dau Island Lighthouse belongs to the Do Son Beach entertainment tourist area and is associated with the legend of Old Than Vuong Island. Do Son mountain runs along the peninsula of Van Hoa hill, then stops and rises up a small hill completely separate from the mainland, which is Dau Dau. If the mountain range running along Do Son is a big dragon, then Hon Dau can be seen as a pearl playing right in front of the dragon's mouth. Coming to the island, you will visit the Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, built in 1892 and completed in 1896. In June 1898, the lighthouse was officially put into operation under the management of the French. The light is about 63.5m high above sea level and in May 1955 our army took over the lighthouse from the French. Since then this day has also become the starting day of the Maritime Safety Industry. During the years of resistance against America to save the country, the enemy attacked the lighthouse, laid mines to block Hai Phong port, and hindered aid ships to our country. Accompanying the people, the workers on the lamp chanted the slogan "As long as there are people, there is still light, the heart is still beating, there is still light". In 1964, when the US Air Force expanded its invasion campaign, Long Chau lighthouse and Hon Dau Island lighthouse contributed to protecting the safety of ships from socialist countries carrying goods. On April 27, 1967, it was completely demolished by the imperialists, but then the light station workers quickly rebuilt a 17m high iron light pole to replace it. In 1986, the new lighthouse was rebuilt right on the old foundation and then in 1995, it was remodeled according to the original foundation. This lighthouse is an imposing 2-story building with a light tower in the middle. We can climb up to the light stage using a wooden, spiral staircase with 90 steps and then reach the windy circular corridor, where you can admire the vast sea and sky, with flocks of birds flying. The lighthouse is designed with flashing lights and white light every 15 seconds. Below our feet and far away is Do Son mountain as if at eye level. When visiting the Lighthouse Museum staff and tour guides at Hon Dau Island Lighthouse will help us learn more about the history as well as interesting legends on the island. From the top of Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, you can breathe in the sea breeze full of life and immerse yourself in the beautiful space of heaven and earth. Right below us are still the torpedoes that the American imperialists dropped to extinguish the navigation lights for the numberless ships, they are still lying there as a living testament of a glorious time. Coming to Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, in addition to visiting the ancient lighthouse, you also have the opportunity to visit the Nam Hai Dai Than Vuong temple to light incense and pray for peace. This is a quite sacred place on the island that is highly respected by the people of Do Son in particular and Hai Phong in general. The ancients also had to lower their sails and go in to worship each time they passed by. One time, while on a trip to the North, King Tu Duc's boat encountered strong winds and storms. The king went to the temple to pray, but soon the sky cleared up. The 8th - 10th day of the second lunar month every year is the time for the traditional Dau Island festival of seafarers on the Northern Coast.

Kinh Chu Cave is located on the slopes of a limestone mountain range called Duong Nham, Bo Da or Xuyen Chau. It is a mountain range located on the banks of the Kinh Thay River, gracefully reflecting its reflection into the water. The cave door faces south to welcome the cool summer breeze. Standing here, visitors can see Market Mountain and Pen Tower - the two highest peaks of this massive mountain range; see An Phu peak where Tran Lieu temple and Cao pagoda are located; See fields, villages and in the distance is the bustling town of Kinh Mon. But when entering the cave, visitors are surprised by the skillful hand of nature to create two high, bell-shaped cave domes. Deep inside is a stream of clear and cool water. No one knows where the stream flows. The cave was once home to hundreds of thousands of crows and bats, which flapped their wings at dusk and rushed out of the cave to search for food. This is also the evacuation place of the Hai Phong shipyard during the war against America to save the country. In the cave, there is a pagoda worshiping Buddha and worshiping King Ly Than Tong. A branch of the cave turns west, located lower, leading visitors to the temple worshiping Mother Tam Phu. The most unique feature in Kinh Chu Cave is the National Treasure - the ma chew stele system. All steles here are carved right into the cliffs with 54 steles, the largest number of steles in any cave in Vietnam. There's beer down low. There is beer on high. There is also a stele towering above the cave dome. The handwriting of these epitaphs is still intact because they have not been eroded by rain or sun. More than 50 epitaphs mentioned above have exact dates from the 14th to the 20th century. The authors of the epitaphs are also very diverse: from the King to the Great Mandarin; from government officials, district officials to wanderers, teachers to local translators. The content of the stele is very rich: the stele records the restoration of Duong Nham Pagoda in the cave. The stele records the construction of three gates, the carving of stone statues, the bridging of the pagoda gate, the stele records the names of those who passed the exam in the whole district from the Tran dynasty to the early 17th century. In particular, there are nearly 20 stele engraved with poems. There is a complete poem. There are poems that illustrate the epitaph. Regarding characters, these epitaphs contain many Chinese characters. Some steles are in Nom, some are in the national language. All are carved by the talented hands of the local stonemason (Duong Nham village). The handwriting is very small, soft, sharp; Decorative motifs such as curled dragons, climbing flowers, perching birds and intricate and sophisticated seals make us surprised and extremely admired. The poems carved on the cliffs in the cave are mostly scene poems and express their feelings for their country and homeland. Right on the cliff of the cave entrance is a stele engraved with the pen of the Great Mandarin of the Tran Dynasty: Pham Su Manh. He is from Hiep Thach commune and Duong Nham district. On the trip to review military routes, he chose Kinh Chu Cave as a place to live and read books. Feeling moved by the beautiful scenery of his homeland, he wrote a five-word poem with 18 lines. The old man himself wrote on the rock wall and then had the workers chisel along the strokes of the pen. The generous poetic voice recalls the heroic atmosphere of a time when our ancestors fought the enemy on the Bach Dang River: Bach Dang's rolling waves/ Imagine the Ngo king's boat/.../ Thousands of battleships on the sea surface/ Thousands of flags on the mountain's gates. Entering the cave, looking up at the top of the cave is a poem by King Le Thanh Tong, a wise king skilled in both literature and martial arts, who vindicated Nguyen Trai, the founder of the Tao Dan Association. The poem consists of 22 verses in seven-word form, not only praising the rivers and mountains, Dear Master Looking in eight directions, so vast/ Endless blue sky and mountains everywhere, but also revealing his Zen thoughts and Zen mind full of humanity. . Those who love poetry cannot help but be fascinated with poems that are both engraved with Chinese and Nom characters, and engraved with the National language. Or the poems that appeared in the early twentieth century (before the August Revolution) by monks Tran Huu Dap, Tran Quoc Trinh, and by retired minister Nguyen Van Dao. In these poems, besides the verses praising the beautiful sceneries: Duong Nham, a peaceful beast/ It is Uyen Village or Bong Lai, making visitors standing in front of the Luc Cave Paintings, the eternal scenery all have the feeling of Earthly dust. is also clean, the practice is also thick (poetry of Tran Huu Dap), we also encounter verses with profound hidden meanings containing feelings about the times that for some reason are not convenient to say: Dear Master, where are you? is the opening verse. The eighth sentence, the conclusion of the poem, is still intact, but the mood is different. Placing the poem in 1935 - the year of the poem's birth, we can partly understand what Tran Quoc Trinh wanted to convey. Turning to the poem of Mr. Nguyen Van Dao, a retired minister, we also encounter the haunting verses: Mourning and mourning the faces of the world/ Why are you busy, O meritorious work. The poem he wrote 6 years before the August Revolution. What was the country like at that time? How were people at that time? Answering the above two questions means we understand what he wants to say. With more than 20 poems carved on stone and many historical traces, many relics, beautiful landscapes, the An Phu - Kinh Chu - Nham Duong relic complex can be said to be an attractive tourist destination. However, currently connecting this tourist destination with other destinations in Hai Duong province and neighboring provinces/cities is not effective. Perhaps, in order for this relic to attract many tourists, the tourism industry of Hai Duong province and Kinh Mon district needs to strengthen the construction of unique and attractive tourism products associated with Kinh Chu Cave and the national relic complex. special price; At the same time, there are unique presentations for the destination; Promote cultural promotion and tourism promotion in Kinh Mon district.
