Thien Canh Son Cave

The day started early today as we are going to transfer to a local island where we will be visiting a cave before breakfast.

Thien Canh Son Cave is just one among the 59 discovered caves in the Halong Bay area.

The tender boat took us to the shore of the island, we disembarked and climbed up the 90 odd steps to the cave.

The entrance to the cave is small and unassuming, looking at it from the outside provides no indication of what it is like inside. You need to duck down slightly so as not to hit your head on the low entrance, and then follow the downward sloping path into the first cavern. Thien Canh Son Cave is comprised of three caverns each one strewn with stalactites and stalagmites.

The caves are nothing like our Jenolan Caves but still interesting.Read more
