The reason it is called God’s Eye Mountain is because the mountain’s outer shape at the top has a circular cave like an “eye” standing tall in the middle of the vast mountains and forests. The beauty of this place is the intersection of the sky and mountains, each season of the year the scenery around God’s Eye Mountain has different colors.
During the rainy season, the proud mountain with its giant “God’s Eye” reflects itself on the water’s bottom amidst the surrounding mountain peaks. In the distance, rows of wild flowers are blooming, adding a romantic touch to the scene.

Because it is located in an unfavorable terrain, the road from Cao Bang city to Trung Khanh has quite winding and dangerous passes, so Nguom Ngao Cave was little known before.
Since backpacking tourism has been strongly developed in Vietnam and almost become a trend for young people who love adventure, Nguom Ngao cave has become famous and “hot” no less than Ban Gioc waterfall or Pac Bo cave when mentioning Cao Bang.
With the magical beauty of stalactites of various shapes, Nguom Ngao Cave is known as the most beautiful cave in Vietnam. It is a cave located in the mountain, formed about 300 million years ago, with strange images like the dodder tree, mother’s milk, the magic toad, the stone guitar…

All of the above scenes are created by nature from limestone stalactites and stalagmites, without any human intervention, but they appear extremely vivid and attractive.
Nguom Ngao Cave has 3 main entrances: Nguom Lom entrance, cool all year round, hidden under rocks at the foot of the mountain, Nguom Ngao entrance, a few hundred steps from the foot of the mountain, and Ban Thuon entrance behind the mountain, next to Thuon village of the Tay people.

7. Me Pia Pass
Me Pia Pass is one of the most famous mountain passes in Cao Bang province, the Northwest region of Vietnam. Accordingly, Me Pia Pass is located on National Highway 4A with a total length of only 2.5km, but because of its steepness, it forms a winding road like a silk strip in the wind. The entire pass is located in Xuan Truong commune, connecting this commune with the center of Bao Lac, a district bordering China.
Many people who do not remember the exact name of Me Pia often call it the 14-level slope pass because of its inherent shape. Built to connect a commune and a district center on a mountain slope, Me Pia Pass had to be made into a curve to make the 2.5km steep road safer for cars and motorbikes.
Because of its ruggedness and picturesque curves, this route is always the most desired destination for many domestic and foreign backpackers when coming to the Northwest region, typically Cao Bang.
