1. Am Tiem cave and ethnic history

An Tiem Cave is a landscape in the land of Truong Yen, Hoa Lu district, Ninh Binh that is part of the Hoa Lu ancient capital complex. Under the Dinh dynasty, Am Tiem Cave was a spot where tigers and criminals were incarcerated. Giai pond is located at the foot of the Dia mountain, and the king bred crocodiles to cast sins into the pond to feed the fish.

This is where King Le Dai Hanh imprisoned Song Dynasty invaders: Guo Quan Bian and Trieu Phung Huan, before he returned to Ly Giac with false soldiers in 986. In addition, there are Muoi cave, Tien cave, and other caves in this region where the king kept his treasury and food during the Dinh Le era.

Duong Van Nga also ordained as a monk at Am Tiem pagoda under the name Bao Quang Hoang Thai Hau in his final years. During the Ly dynasty, Zen master Nguyen Minh Khong was in the cave praying sermons and constructing additional Buddhist altars. At the moment, the Am Tien Ninh Binh cave area has been upgraded, rebuilt, and a new pagoda area on the way to the ancient temple cave has been created.

Aside from Buddhist worship and Zen master Nguyen Minh Khong, the new Am Tien area also houses a Dinh era shrine.
