Phong Nha Cave is the most well-known cave in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. It should be your first stop when visiting this national park. Phong Nha Cave is famous not only as a natural wonder of the world or a Vietnam marvel, but also as a shelter and a hospital during the American War. Aside from Phong Nha Cave, Dark Cave is also an attractive cave. It is called Dark Cave since it’s primarily formed of basalt (a black hard rock), in addition to limestone. They are really amazing, and you will never forget them.
