Bo Nau Grotto or Pelican Grotto lies
far from 2-3km southeast of Trong Mai Islet.
This vaulted grotto covers 200m2. The
floor of the grotto is wide and flat but not deep and its wall features lots of
stalactites and stalagmites.
Bo Nau Grotto is one of the beauty
grottoes in Halong Bay. At the entrance are three stones, looking like three
fairies with their heads close to one another. Two men appear to be playing
chess, with the third serving as a referee.
The name Bo Nau or Bo Nong is
associated with the fact that pelicans often take shelter here. If Dau Go
Grotto lies completely inside the island, Bo Nau opens its mouth at the side of
the island. Stalactites fall down from the roof of the grotto in different
clusters. Meanwhile stalagmites grow up in different shapes and layers. Is this
that the life out there is so noisy that the three fairies have to choose this
tranquil place to play chess? Turning southward, Bo Nau Grotto enjoys cool
wind. Standing there, one can hear the murmur of the sea all year round.
