One of the main attractions in the capital of Ha Nam province is Thien Bao Tu Pagoda, which is over a thousand years old. Another essential visit if you are visiting Phu Ly on holiday are the 5 Ngu Ba Danh Grottoes on Cam Mountain, just a few kilometres from the city. The beauty and mystery of these caves has made them the subject of Vietnamese poetry and music since time immemorial. A very special and traditional local event is the Lieu Doi Wrestling Festival, held once a year and a totally unforgettable experience if you’re lucky enough to get to see it.
