New cave with rare stalactites, cave pearls discovered in Phong Nha–Ke Bang
A newly discovered cave stretching approximately 3 kilometres has been found in Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park in the central province of Quang Tri, featuring a spectacular system of stalactites and an unusually large concentration of cave pearls, according to Jungle Boss Co., Ltd. The cave, named Thang (Victory) Cave, was named after a local resident who first identified its location. With its pristine landscape, remarkable scale and unique geological features, Thang Cave has the potential to become a new highlight of adventure tourism in Quang Tri and further enhance the value of the UNESCO-recognised Phong Nha–Ke Bang World Natural Heritage Site.
