1. About Phong Nha Cave

Phong Nha Cave

Phong Nha Ke Bang Cave or Phong Nha Cave is a limestone cave formed through a weathering process that lasts millions of years. The stalactites in the cave under the influence of rainwater have caused the limestone in the cave to flow down into extremely unique and fancy limestone stalactites.

There are many interpretations of the name “Phong Nha”, but the most accepted explanation is based on the characteristics of the cave. “Phong” means wind blowing from within the cave, “Nha” means teeth (refers to the stalactites flowing down the tendrils in the cave like teeth). “Decent” means the wind that blows out the teeth.

Phong Nha Ke Bang Cave is located in Son Trach commune, Cha Trach district, Quang Binh province. Located 45km northwest of Dong Hoi city, Phong Nha Ke Bang Cave is known as the “First Thien Nam Cave” in Vietnam.
