📍Vietnam Motorcycle Long March Tour / A must-visit place between China and Vietnam - Phong Nha Kra Bang National Park

◼️ Phong Nha Cave, Vietnam Go to Quang Binh, Central Vietnam - #Phong Nha Krabang National Park Visited the oldest existing karst cave in the world - #天堂洞 I really can't describe the excitement at that moment. A small hole that looks ordinary on the outside As soon as I entered, I was immediately shocked by the vastness and strange stalactites in front of me. It really feels like entering a fairyland, a foreign land It is a picture that is difficult for human senses to understand and chew. Paradise Cave was discovered by a local farmer in 2005. This farmer likes to go exploring when he is not working. People around him always laughed at him. One day, he was exploring as usual. While resting in a place, I found a strange cool breeze behind me. So I found a small hole, and when I went in, I found that it was such a huge stalactite cave. Later, a British expedition team came to explore, and the flood stopped when they advanced 31 kilometers. Currently, only 1 km is open to tourists. Just this short 1 kilometer is enough to make people unforgettable The formation of Paradise Cave is at least 400 million years old It was originally on the seabed, but later due to the uplift of the earth's crust, it was eroded. Leave the solid marble part. Walking in the cave, I held my breath and stared at the incredible sight before my eyes Unlike the caves in Halong Bay, the wonders of Paradise Cave do not require a gorgeous light show. Just simple white and yellow light, lighting up the cave All that remains is to appreciate the wonders of nature. We visited yesterday afternoon, as group tourists usually go there in the morning. So it is rare for us to enjoy such beautiful scenery and realm alone The cave was very quiet during the visit. There is only the sound of water dripping, like the heartbeat of the Paradise Cave You will feel that she is growing up and is still growing. Indeed, if there is only one person in the cave, That kind of atmosphere and scene is completely beyond the scope of what a small human like me can understand and accept. There is indeed some fear, some excitement and admiration What I want to say is that if I were alone in the cave, I would be able to escape quickly. 📌 #How to get to Paradise Cave Because we were riding our own bikes, we didn't check it specifically. But generally speaking, 1. Take a local tour from Dong Hoi City 2. Rent a motorcycle from Dong Hoi City Whether you are from Hanoi in North Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City in South Vietnam or Da Nang in Central Vietnam You can choose to take a train, plane or open bus. If you have a limited budget and unlimited time, open buses are really your best friend. When I traveled to South Vietnam before, I relied on him the whole time. Girls don't have to worry about taking a night train alone, but of course you still have to pay attention to safety. Choose a safe and reliable bus, preferably one recommended by a local friend Back to the topic #PhongNhaKeBang National Park has 4 most well-known caves. The national park itself is free to enter, but the caves have separate fees. ● #Phung Nha Cave: 250,000vnd ticket + 360,000vnd boat fee Phong Nha Cave is the most visited place because it is the closest and has a higher tourist nature. It is a wet cave, so you need to take a boat to get there. The boat costs 360,000 VND. You can share the boat fare with locals or other tourists. ● #BlackHole: The most expensive, 450,000vnd, for adventure and entertainment. First, zipline over, then start tracing the stream into the cave. The mud in the black hole is dense, so everyone will float up and be covered in mud. It's very interesting. Finally, paddle back. It's a favorite of European and American guests. ● #Tiantangdong: 250000vnd+100000vnd for the shuttle bus to the cave entrance You can freely choose the shuttle bus, but we chose to walk there. It is actually quite close, so we can save money. At that time, there were also many European and American tourists walking. Depending on your walking speed, the walking distance is about 20-30 minutes. Only then will you reach the entrance, but it is not yet the cave entrance. You still have to climb 570m of mountain road. The oldest cave in the world is worth your effort! As mentioned above, only one kilometer is currently open to tourists. In fact, there is a limited itinerary, but it is limited to 15 people per day. You can change into equipment and continue exploring for 7 kilometers. The fee is US$100. For those who like adventure, I think it should be worth it if you have enough time. However, there are no trails and no lights on the road afterwards, which must be quite scary. ● #Han Song Cave: It was also discovered by the farmer just now. It is a very famous Han Song Cave. It also has a limited number of visitors each year, and the price is not cheap, $3,000 per person! It takes seven days, and it is said that it takes 2-3 days of climbing to reach the cave entrance.
