About this audio guide
This guide to Dau Go Cave in Ha Long follows the thirteenth-century legend of General Tran Hung Dao's men hiding ironwood stakes here before the Bach Dang River ambush that broke a Mongol fleet. It traces how French visitors who climbed the same steps centuries later renamed the cave the Grotto of Marvels, and the emperor who later had a poem to the bay carved beside its entrance. Listen for where that inscription still sits near the cave mouth.
