Ngoc Mountain: The Hidden Beauty along the Day River

Ngoc Mountain, like a "precious gem," nestles itself quietly along the gentle Day River, possessing a rugged and majestic beauty, along with long-standing historical and cultural values. Let's explore this mountain with Tien Loc Palace Hotel through the following article.

I. Where is Ngoc Mountain?

Located in Danh village, Ngoc Son commune, Kim Bang district, Ha Nam province, Ngoc Mountain is a precious gem hidden along the tranquil Day River. This place not only attracts visitors with its rugged and majestic beauty but also for its long-standing historical and cultural values.

Just 100m north of Ba Danh Pagoda, Ngoc Mountain easily captivates visitors at first glance. From Phu Ly town, 7km upstream along the Day River, visitors will reach Danh Wharf and just another 100m walk, they will set foot on Ngoc Mountain. Alternatively, if starting from Hong Phu intersection, visitors only need to travel along National Highway 21B for about 10km, and Ngoc Mountain will appear before their eyes, resembling a majestic "dragon" with the ancient Ba Danh Pagoda – the origin of the proverb "Deserted like Ba Danh Pagoda" – at its foot.

Ngoc Mountain belongs to a limestone mountain range stretching from Hoa Binh, through Tuong Linh, Kha Phong, and Lien Son communes of Kim Bang district, in a northwest-southeast direction. However, Ngoc Mountain is entirely separated from this range by the gentle Day River.

II. What does Ngoc Mountain offer?

Although not very tall, Ngoc Mountain possesses a rugged and majestic beauty, along with a diverse ecosystem protected by the local people's conservation efforts. On the summit stands a centuries-old banyan tree, standing tall and proud as a testament to the long history of this place.

Standing atop Ngoc Mountain, visitors feel detached from the hustle and bustle of modern life, immersing themselves in the vast and wild nature with majestic mountains, charming rivers, and lush greenery. At the foot of the mountain is an ancient temple dedicated to a benefactor of the local people, hidden behind the trees is the sacred Ba Danh Pagoda, and the gentle Day River flows by.

To reach Ba Danh Pagoda, visitors must cross the imposing Cam Son suspension bridge over the Day River, and then walk along a deserted dike path. A stone signboard engraved with "Historical and Cultural Relic of Ba Danh Pagoda and Ngoc Mountain" will greet visitors, welcoming them to this captivating destination.

Ba Danh Pagoda bears the traditional architecture of Northern Delta pagodas, with a continuous complex comprising the worship hall, the main sanctuary, the middle hall, the Mother Goddess shrine, and the ancestral house. Not only Buddha but also Taoist deities like the Jade Emperor, the Southern and Northern Dipper, the Three Palaces, and the Four Palaces are worshipped here.
