Description

Paradise Cave is the longest dry cave in Asia (located in Phong Nha – Ke bang National Park’s core zone. With naturally primitive features, Paradise Cave looks like a landscape painting; making it a natural wonder that many have enjoyed since its opening in 2010. According to spelunkers (cave explorers), the deeper one journeys into the cave, the more one feels the wells of heavenly clarity all around. The cave height can reach to 72 m and up to 150 m wide. There are a series of white crystal stalactites (limestone deposits) resembling natural pillars and many other spectacular formations.

Commander Cave is a remarkable destination where spectacular natural beauty meets the heroic history of the legendary Truong Son Trail. Located about 15 km from Phong Nha center, the cave once served as the command base of Station 14 under Corps 559. During the war, it was used as a shelter, logistics depot, meeting point, and coordination center for transporting goods, fuel, and weapons along Route 20 Quyet Thang.

Also known as NH Cave or 7-Level Cave, Commander Cave features a fascinating multi-layered structure resembling a fortified bunker hidden deep inside the limestone mountain. Visitors can explore impressive stalactites and historic wartime sites, then experience the VR 360 Simulation Zone, where they can virtually drive a ZIL-130 truck across dangerous roads under fierce bombardment. It is an immersive journey combining nature, history, and technology.
