New untouched caves discovered in Quang Binh
PSNews - A number of new caves have been discovered in Quang Binh central province recently by a team of explorers from the British Cave Research Association (BCRA).
According to the People's Committee of Tuyen Hoa District, Quang Binh Province, the explorer team of BCRA has conducted a survey in Lam Hoa Commune, Tuyen Hoa District and discovered a pristine cave system containing many stalactites and mysterious underground springs created by nature.
The BCRA has explored and measured a number of caves, including the longest one which is Hung Tru 1 (1,919m), and others including Hung Tru 2 (502m), Hung Tru 3 (153m), Hung Ka Vong 1 (238m), and Hung Ka Vong 2 (537m).
These caves are classified as wet caves, with some having dry branches and a total length of 3,349 meters.
According to BCRA experts, the discovery of the new pristine cave system in Lam Hoa opens a new "door" for the exploitation and development of tourism in this area.
It was the latest exploration trip of the BCRA team in Phong Nha-Ke Bang area, Quang Binh since 1990. Some caves have since become well known, including Phong Nha Cave, Thien Duong (Paradise) Cave and Son Doong Cave.
Quang Binh is dubbed the “kingdom of caves” with hundreds of caves of various sizes as well as incredible mountain scenery and sprawling beaches.
Notably, it is home to Son Doong Cave, which was accredited as the world’s largest and most beautiful natural cave by the World Records Union and the World Records Association, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park.
