#awesomepic #情侣出游 #美食 #foodie On the first day, the journey will pick you up and depart from Hue. On the way, you will stop in Quang Tri and visit La Vang Holy Land, also known as the Minor Basilica, a pilgrimage site for Vietnamese Catholics. Continuing the journey, you will be introduced to historical revolutionary sites such as: Quang Tri ancient citadel, Doc Mieu base and take photos at the 17th parallel - Hien Luong bridge, Ben Hai river. Arriving in Quang Binh at noon, you will rest and eat at Xuan Son boat station, then start the journey to explore Phong Nha cave. Going down the Son river on a wooden boat, you will admire the longest cave in Southeast Asia and enjoy the limestone mountains, underground river system and stalactites of Phong Nha cave. In addition, before returning to the wharf, you will also be able to admire the scenery of the riverside village life with images typical of Vietnamese countryside. After a night of rest and fun in Dong Hoi, the next morning, the car will take you to Mooc stream to bathe in the stream and visit. After lunch, the journey to explore Thien Duong cave continues to take you to one of the caves with the most majestic and magical stalactites and stalagmites in the world. Known as the garden of paradise on earth, visiting Thien Duong cave, you will be amazed by the layers of stalactites with many different shapes. The summer temperature outside is 36-37°C, but inside Thien Duong cave is always 20-21°C. The extremely cool temperature combined with the colorful stalactites makes you feel like you are stopping in the garden of paradise.

Looking into Thien Duong cave from the cave entrance, I was extremely overwhelmed because the cave was deep, long, and big. It was scary to look at and my heart was pounding, but when I entered the cave, I found it truly majestic, the stalactites accumulated over millions of years are worth exploring and experiencing.

Paradise Cave is located within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. It is situated about 70 km northwest of Dong Hoi Railway Station, which takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes by car. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and Paradise Cave is one of its most famous attractions. Vietnam's limestone caves are geological formations that have developed over millions of years. This area was once a shallow sea, and the limestone accumulated on the seabed began to form caves due to tectonic movements over a long period. Rainwater and underground water eroded the limestone, creating various structures inside the caves. The carbon dioxide in the rainwater dissolved the limestone, forming stalactites and stalagmites, which eventually grew into massive caves. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a prime example of such limestone terrain and is considered one of the most significant karst landscapes in the world. Paradise Cave truly lives up to its name, giving off a heavenly feeling. As soon as you enter the cave, you can feel the cool air. The endless formations of stalactites and stalagmites look like natural works of art. Although the cave extends for about 31 km, the general viewing area is about 1 km, which is enough to walk and appreciate. The lighting inside the cave highlights the details of the limestone formations, and the area known as the 'Cathedral' is particularly impressive. The cave ceiling reaches up to 100 meters in some places, which is astonishing, and the various shapes created by the limestone layers are enough to spark your imagination. Walking through the cave feels like admiring a masterpiece sculpted by nature over tens of millions of years. It felt like a natural sculpture art museum!

There is heaven outside. There is heaven inside. Humans know how to move. Heaven moves.
