💙🇻🇳Surprising Cave in Halong bay🇻🇳💙

🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳
Our second stop on our UNESCO World Heritage Site on Halong Bay is the ‘Sung Sot Cave’ also known as ‘Surprising Cave’.

A place so amazing that the French,who discovered it, deemed it “Grotte des Surprises” or (Surprise Grotto), Sung Sot Cave is the biggest, and one of the most beautiful caves in Halong Bay and an absolute highlight on most Halong Bay itineraries.

The cave is also on the island of Bo Hon, along with other popular Halong caves. Our guide Linh told us that Sung Sot Cave is divided into two chambers; the first chamber, known as the “Waiting Room” which is massive, adorned by stalagmites and stalactites and lit by multicolored lights positioned to complement the chamber’s structural beauty.

Then in order to reach the second chamber, visitors must walk down a narrow passageway. The second chamber is known as the “Serene Castle”. This chamber is large and grand with an extremely high ceiling and has many interesting rock formations which locals identify by likening them to animals due to their shapes, some shaped as monkeys and lions. One eye-catching rock formation is shaped like a horse with a long-sword and has a legend behind it.
