Son Nu - new cave was discovered in the Central Province of Quang Binh

A cave with magnificent and pristine limestone formations has been freshly discovered in the central province of Quang Binh, which is often dubbed the "kingdom of caves" in Vietnam.

Located near such ecotourism destinations as Cha Rao and Cha Cung streams, the cave is approximately 1.8km long, with a width ranging from 20m to 50m and an average height of about 35m.

The new cave’s mouth in Truong Son Commune of Quang Ninh District includes a front door and a back door. The cave is more than 1.5km long. It takes about an hour to row rubber boats from the cave’s front door to the back door.

To reach its location, people need to cross about 7km of convenient transportation and 2km of a trail alongside a stream. Quang Binh is home to Son Doong Cave, accredited as the world’s largest and most beautiful natural cave by the World Records Union and the World Records Association; The First Wonder Cave Phong Nha; Paradise Cave; En cave, Tú Làn Caves...

In the cave, there are many beautiful stalactites and strange constructions. The height of the cave’s highest place is about 30m.
