Linh Son Cave is located in Linh Nham Commune, Dong Hy District, Thai Nguyen Province, in the Hot Mountain area - a unique limestone mountain with villages scattered around. It has a large cave that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time and always maintains a cool climate and fresh air, suitable for year-round sightseeing. This cave includes two natural caves, Thien Cave and Dia Cave, connected by a smooth road.
In addition to its natural beauty, Linh Son Cave also has a history of resistance. During the resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism, this place became the base of many military units of the province and Interzone. To this day, at the entrance of Linh Son Cave, there is still a Chinese stele recording the "Renovation of Linh Son Cave," dating from the Le Dynasty.

Thien Cave has an area of over 360 m² with a flat floor, steps leading up, and remarkable Buddhist altars. The landscape here is very unique, with natural stalactites forming interesting shapes such as coral clusters, tigers, elephants, unicorns, lions, etc.

The path to the top of Hot Mountain at the west end of Thien Cave opens a path to Dia Cave. Dia Cave is about 480 m² wide, about 15 meters lower than Thien Cave. The cave floor is flat, spacious, and gradually lowers, creating a large resting space.
The beautiful scenery here is combined with unique images such as a mother holding a child, a pen tower, etc. The cave was once used as a place to worship Buddha, still preserving a bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni and natural stone statues, some decorated with gold on stone pedestals.
