The second area

In the middle of the cave there are large stalactites connecting from the arch of the cave to the cave floor. It makes the scene even more beautiful. The roof of the cave has no cracks, so there is no dripping water. The interesting thing is that the cave is so large, but when entering the cave, the voice of the person is not echoed but still is clear.

The last chamber

The next compartment was equally magnificent, with the cave suddenly expanding to accommodate thousands of people. In this compartment there are many stalactites created by the magical hands of nature into many shapes such as sword, horse, dinosaur shape, banyan tree, sea bear … Some ponds and lakes look very small. Cassava makes the scene in the cave even cooler. Stalactites and stalagmites fill the top of the cave and inside the cave, creating a spectacular scene.

Going on to the highest peak of the cave, visitors will admire a mesmerizing scene named “royal garden”. There is a clear, tranquil lake here, surrounded by green trees, beautiful flowers and leaves. There are many species of birds inhabiting here with monkeys running around in the trees.
