Google honors Vietnam's Son Doong cave
Son Doong, the world's largest natural cave located in Vietnam's central province of Quang Binh, was featured on the Google homepage of 17 countries and territories around the world on April 14.
Accordingly, the cave was honored on the Vietnamese Google homepage together with 17 nations around the world, including the UK, Singapore, Sweden, Greece, Argentina, and Chile to mark the discovery of the site in 2009.
Through the promotion of Son Doong Cave, Google has continued to spread Vietnam's unique cultural and heritage values to the world. This is also one of the activities to promote and support Vietnam's tourism after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Son Doong Cave, said to be the world's largest, is located in the heart of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Quang Binh.
It was named on the list of the seven new wonders of the world for 2020 by prestigious travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler.
The cave, which has a large, fast-flowing underground river inside, was discovered by local resident Ho Khanh in 1991.
Khanh’s discovery made world news in April 2009 after a group of British scientists from the British Cave Research Association, led by Howard and Deb Limbert, conducted a geographical survey of Phong Nha-Ke Bang.
Son Doong Cave has since drawn international attention and become a staple on adventure bucket lists for travellers from around the world.
