Phong Nha - Kẻ Bàng National Park

Phong Nha – Kẻ Bàng is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Bố Trạch and Minh Hóa districts of central Quảng Bình Province in the North Central Coast region of Vietnam.

Phong Nha - Kẻ Bàng National Park

Phong Nha–Kẻ Bàng National Park is situated in a limestone zone of 2,000 km² in Vietnamese territory and borders another limestone zone of 2,000 km² of Hin Namno in Laotian territory. The core zone of this national park covers 857.54 km² and a buffer zone of 1,954 km²

The park was created to protect one of the world's two largest karst regions with 300 caves and grottoes and also protects the eco system of limestone forest of the Annamite Range region in North Central Coast of Vietnam.

Inside Thiên Đường (Paradise) cave

Thiên Đường - "Paradise" Cave is a newly found cave in this area. Prior to the discovery of Sơn Đoòng cave, it was regarded as the largest and longest cave in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng. Some of the most beautiful and spectacular stalactites and stalagmites in the park are found within Thiên Đường.

Scientist of the British Cave Research Association

Found by a local man and explored and publicly announced by the British cave scientists of the British Cave Research Association, it is regarded as the largest cave in the world. The biggest chamber of Sơn Đoòng is over five kilometers in length, 200 meters high and 150 meters wide. With these tremendous dimensions, Sơn Đoòng overtakes Deer Cave of Malaysia to take the title of world's largest cave. 

The beautiful underground lake under the effect of lights

Because the fast flowing underground river in the cave deterred the explorers from going farther, they were only able to estimate the length of the cave using a flashlight.
