Mr Thoai lake

For a long time, Sap mountain was thoroughly exploited for stone so that there are many deep gulfs at the foot and surrounding the mountain. Then, when there was a policy to stop mining to develope tourism, the water is led into the deep gulfs and Mr. Thoai lake was created. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains, deep caves, deep blue lakes with schools of fish swimming around. On the lake surface, there are iron bridges that bend like rainbows over the cliffs such as Mai An Tiem Bridge, Khoa Bang Bridge, and Vong Nguyet Bridge. On a stone pedestal, the statue of Thoai Ngoc Hau stands tall, majestic, with one hand pointing in the direction of Thoai Ha canal as if reminding us of the merits of those who went to reclaim the land, turning a desolate land into rich. Behind the statue of Thoai Ngoc Hau, there is a translation of Thoai Son stone stele erected on the mountainside, marking the birth of a land. On a corner of the lake, there is an architectural work built modeled after the One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi.

Temple of Thoai Ngoc Hau

To mark the work of digging Thoai Ha canal in 1818, Thoai Ngoc Hau composed an inscription carved into the stone stele. In the third year of Minh Mang (1822), he solemnly held the ceremony to erect the stele and inaugurated the temple worshiping Son Than, now the temple worshiping Thoai Ngoc Hau in Sap mountain town. Thoai Son stele is a famous inscription in Vietnam under the feudal regime that remains to this day. The stone stele is 3m high, 1.2m wide, 2cm thick, the face of the stele is engraved with 629 Chinese characters, the handwriting is still beautiful. In 1990, Thoai Son stele was recognized as a national historical relic. Every year, the Ky Yen festival is solemnly held in 3 days 10, 11 and 12 of the 3rd lunar month at Thoai Ngoc Hau temple. This is the biggest festival of local people.
