Phong Nha Cave


50km from Dong Hoi city and only 30 minutes away from the Son River, Phong Nha Quang Binh Cave is known as "Vietnam's first Thien Nam cave" is a name that is no longer too strange in the tourist world.

With the first position in the list of Quang Binh caves, it can be said that Phong Nha cave possesses the miraculous beauty bestowed by nature.
