It is one of the most beautiful caves in Halong bay. Especially for those people do not have much time and spend a day trip in HaLong. The stalectiles and stelacmines are gorgeous. Just use your immagination you can find many interesting images.

This was the first cave that we saw and, truly, it was amazing. That is, except for the colored artificial lighting that they attached. Cave formations of this size, magnitude and volume are amazing. The government has even made it easy for everyone to walk through the cave. If only the government would remove the pink, blue and green lights,... More

We stopped here as part of our day long cruise through Halong Bay. Yes, just as others mentioned, it was very crowded and we had to pause and wait a bit in line. Despite that, it was a beautiful sight to see this natural wonder. There are many stairs you need to go up and down. Had great photo opportunities

The cave is great and amazing really for a cave but its been lit up in lumerous lights so its very tacky but still I liked it. Its an easy walk to, only a minute of steps then its level all the way around.
