Vọng Phu Mountain - National Historical Site

Located on the peak of An Hoạch Mountain (Nhồi Mountain), in An Hưng Ward, Thanh Hóa City, Vọng Phu is a limestone mountain naturally shaped like a woman gazing toward the East Sea. This image is linked to the legend of a faithful woman, becoming a beautiful symbol of loyalty and waiting for her husband, who was turned into stone. The image of Vọng Phu Mountain has also become a significant motif in ancient folk songs, as well as in literary and artistic works created by later artists.

On the cliff at the mountain peak, there still remains a plaque from the 46th year of the Cảnh Hưng reign (1786), the Lê Thần Tông dynasty, recording the  contributions of Quận Mãn Lê Trung Nghĩa. On the Vọng Phu stone pillar, four characters ‘Kiệt nhiên trung trĩ’ (lofty, reaching up into the sky) are still visible, engraved in the 3rd year of the Thành Thái reign (1890) during the Nguyễn dynasty. On either side, there is a small inscription noting that the author of these four large characters is Nguyễn Thuật, who passed the Vice Scholar exam and held the position of governor of Thanh Hóa.

With its full historical significance, Vọng Phu Mountain was recognized as a national scenic site by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism) in Decision No. 938/QĐ-BTBVH on August 4, 1992. Today, Vọng Phu Mountain is not only a breathtaking natural landmark but also an eternal symbol of love, patience, and sacrifice. The image of the woman, standing and gazing into the distance, waiting in longing, has become deeply ingrained in the consciousness of the people of Thanh Hóa and visitors from all corners. Notably, it has become a prominent tourist destination in Thanh Hóa Province, attracting visitors to admire its scenic beauty, learn the legendary tales, and explore the unique value of the stone of Nhồi Mountain.
