Sơn Đoòng Cave

• I can look for information on Sơn Đoòng Cave.

Sơn Đoòng Cave is 9 kilometres long, 200 metres wide and
150 metres deep. It is the largest cave in the world up to the present,
much larger than Deer Cave in Malaysia, which is in the second place.
Sơn Đoòng Cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago. Since that time,
the cave has developed a cave ecosystem under the river and trees. Because this ecosystem is very special,
every year, hundreds of explorers from over the world come to Sơn Đoòng to study about the cave and
creatures inside.
Hồ Khanh, a local, discovered the cave in 1991. However, in 2006, when explorers of the British Royal Society
went to Quảng Bình, they confirmed his discovery.
The beauty inside the cave can amaze many travellers. Water and limestone rocks have formed strange
shapes in Sơn Đoòng Cave. That's why it attracts many tourists from different countries and regions.
