On August 10, the railway industry officially put into operation the high-quality tourist train Hanoi – Dong Hoi, Quang Tri province, opening a new and promising journey for domestic and foreign tourists. The train route not only helps shorten the geographical distance, but also becomes a “bridge” to help tourists easily access Quang Tri – a land of history, peace and pristine beaches with majestic nature associated with heritage.
High quality train Ha Noi – Dong HoiPhong Nha cave has been voted one of the most amazing caves in the world for a number of reasons: longest underground river, most beautiful underground lake, highest and widest entrance, most beautiful sandbanks and coral reefs, most spectacular stalactites, stalagmites and longest water cave.
Explore Phong Nha cave by boatNext to Phong Nha, Dark Cave is the most popular tourism site in the area. It was first discovered in 1990 and opened up not long after that. The Dark Cave is the smaller version of the Son Doong Cave. The reason for the name is that there is no artificial light installed inside the cave and with its total length of 6 kilometers it’s nothing but darkness! Moreover, the rocks inside the cave are dark, some gray some black.
Mud bath in Dark caveWith this tour, you will have new experiences: ziplining, rowing the kayak. Moreover, the cave is home to many lakes, with a water temperature of about 18 degrees. Inside the cave, there are many unique things to see and experience! There is a natural mud bath at the end of one of the narrow passages and there are many ancient fossils to be found. The fossils are over a million years old! The natural mud bath is very good for the skin, and compared to a mud-bath in a spa this is just a fraction of the price.
