1. Than Dinh Mountain

Amidst the vast green forests of Truong Xuan Commune, Than Dinh Mountain rises proudly, like a sacred place on earth. The peak appears and disappears in mist, where an ancient temple nestles. Amidst the deep blue primeval forest, beside the peaceful Long Dai River in Rao Da Village, Truong Xuan Commune, Quang Ninh District, Quang Binh Province, Than Dinh Mountain stands tall as a sacred symbol, concealing countless centuries-old legends. The mountain peak is often shrouded in misty haze, where an ancient temple nestles beneath the forest canopy, reminding modern people not to forget their deep roots.

The trip climbing Than Dinh Mountain is not only a physical journey but also an occasion to find peace of mind amidst vast nature. As every footprint is imprinted on the forest leaf-covered trails, you will feel the primal breath of heaven and earth, tranquility seeping through each leaf, and the wind whispering like the words of the mountain forest. On the high summit, white clouds drift lazily at eye level, opening up a landscape that is both majestic and strangely peaceful.

Note: Prepare a sturdy pair of hiking shoes, drinking water, and a few light snacks to boost your energy. The ideal time to start the journey is early morning, when the sun is still gentle, the air is fresh, and  nature is still whispering as it wakes up. 

2. Phong Nha Cave

Phong Nha Cave, located in the core zone of Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, is an unmissable destination when visiting Quang Binh. It has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage site, and it is no exaggeration to call Phong Nha the "number one cave wonder" with its magical, magnificent beauty. Stepping into the cave, you feel like entering a surreal world with sparkling stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling like a galaxy underground. The cool, crystal-clear Son underground river winds through every corner, carrying you deep into legends. Sitting on a traditional wooden boat, gently drifting between peaceful shadows and shimmering reflected light, you will feel the pristine yet magical beauty of nature.

3. Paradise Cave

It is no exaggeration to say that Paradise Cave is a natural masterpiece of art. With a length of 31.4km, this is the longest dry cave in Asia, dubbed the "underground palace" due to its breathtakingly brilliant beauty. Passing through the narrow entrance, a vast space opens before your eyes with magical stalactites and rich shapes sculpted by the hands of Mother Nature over millions of years. The 1km-long wooden bridge leads inside, where every step is a gorgeous frame, with delicately arranged lighting highlighting every detail of the rock arch like a natural art exhibition.

Highlight experiences at Paradise Cave:

  • Walk to explore the 1km route, admire, and take photos of unique stalactite formations.
  • For adventure lovers, challenge yourself with the 7km exploration journey, going deep into the cave where few people have stepped foot, discovering a more pristine and challenging cave system.
