Tien Son Cave
Động Tiên Sơn
A dry cave halfway up the hillside above Phong Nha Cave, with delicate stalactites; tapping the stone columns produces a gong-like sound.
Tien Son Cave lies on a hillside about 200 m above the mouth of Phong Nha Cave. It is about 980 m long, and visitors walk about 400 m of it. The stalactites are fine and delicate, and some columns give a clear echoing sound when tapped, which is why it is called the “dry cave” in contrast to the “water cave.” About 500 stone steps lead up from the exit of Phong Nha Cave to the cave entrance, where you can also look out over the mountains and rivers. Admission is about 80,000 VND, usually bought on the same day as the Phong Nha Cave boat ticket. The climb is steep, so pace yourself.
