The predecessor of Hang Pagoda was just a small cliff house, the place of practice for Mrs. Tho (real name Le Thi Tho, legal name Dieu Thien). Legend has it that she worked as a seamstress, also had a family, but because her husband was too strict, she went to a pure place to practice in order to cut off her karma. She practiced at the same time, took medicine to save people, and did many good deeds.

Going to Hang Pagoda, if you meet the right person who knows the story, you may be told the story of a pair of unusually large and very aggressive snakes. However, when the nun Dieu Thien came to the scriptures, the pair of snakes listened to each day, gradually being touched. They even became vegetarian and guarded against wild animals for her to concentrate on her practice.

The land of the Seven Mountains of An Giang inherently has many stories about large, aggressive animals that are touched by the kindness of people. These things show us the desire to conquer and integrate with nature of An Giang people.
