Things to know before visiting Cha Loi Cave

Cha Loi Cave is an increasingly well-known attraction in Le Thuy district. This cave holds special historical significance as it was once the stopping and working place of General Vo Nguyen Giap during the 1970-1971 period. For that reason, whenever local people mention it, everyone feels a sense of national pride.

Inside, the cave resembles a fascinating maze. Today, it has been developed for tourism, attracting visitors to experience it. Joining the journey to explore Cha Loi Cave, you will challenge yourself with various activities such as trekking, climbing, and even crawling through narrow cave passages. This trip will help you feel more deeply the miracle of Quang Binh's nature, especially the mysterious and challenging beauty of its caves.

To ensure safety and provide the best experience, exploring visitors will be fully equipped with necessary protective gear. This helps you confidently explore every corner, admiring the pristine and majestic system of stalagmites and stalactites from the most spectacular angles.

As mentioned, the event of General Vo Nguyen Giap choosing Cha Loi Cave as his workspace during the years 1970 - 1971 left a deep mark. A fascinating thing is that inside the cave, there is a natural limestone formation shaped like a general facing inward, making many people think of the image of the great General.

Throughout the arduous years of the resistance war against America, Cha Loi Cave was also a safe shelter, resting place, and strategic meeting point for our soldiers. Amidst fierce bombings, this cave remained a warm space for cultural activities, music, and singing, becoming a historical witness, a silent companion in the national liberation revolution.

Looking from the outside, the entrance of Cha Loi Cave seems quite small (only about 4m²), but when stepping inside, you will be amazed by a vast and magnificent underground world opening up before your eyes. The cave has a complex structure consisting of 3 levels, with an average height of about 60m, reaching up to 90m at its highest point, and a width ranging from 30 to 100m.

The special highlight of Cha Loi Cave is its extremely rich and diverse system of stalactites and stalagmites in various shapes, stimulating the imagination of visitors. Many stalactite formations here contain high silica content, creating a distinctive shimmering golden hue. When light shines on them, they become extraordinarily sparkling and magical. 

To reach the cave entrance, visitors need to walk about 800m along a trail through the gardens and houses of the Bru Van Kieu ethnic group. This is also an opportunity to learn about the cultural identity and simple life of the local community before starting the challenging expedition.

The spacious area inside the cave allows visitors to have comfortable rest areas and enjoy the fresh, cool atmosphere. In particular, the experience of camping overnight right inside the cave is a unique activity enjoyed by many.

The journey to explore Cha Loi Cave is not just about admiring beautiful scenery, but also a series of challenging and exciting experiences. To conquer the hidden beauty of this cave, you will transform into a real explorer through the following unique activities:

• Trekking, climbing, swimming: The exploration journey of about 5km inside the cave will take you through various types of terrain.

Note that some sections are quite slippery and difficult to traverse, requiring caution and adherence to the support team's instructions.
• Admiring the "Tunnel of Love": Besides the overall beauty of stalactites and stalagmites, a must-see highlight is the "Tunnel of Love" - a cave section with a very unique heart-shaped natural structure. Under the lights, it becomes sparkling and romantic, making it a favorite check-in spot for many tourists, especially couples.
