You may not know a hidden cave near Dalat City

Da Lat is noted as a romantic city that is a must-visit resort town on holidays for local visitors. One thing that regular tourists may not discover is a hidden cave at the foot of Thac Voi (Elephant Waterfall). It is Hang Gio (Wind Cave) whose entry was formed by rough-hewn steps meandering under the canopy of big trees. Its entrance, at some points, is narrow enough for one person to get in at a time, creeping at foot of ancient trees.

A reason that people don't see the cave is it is covered in spray when visiting Thac Voi whose name originated from a legend of love. A love story is about the daughter of a village chief who had fallen in love with a son of another village chief. Their love affairs happened in wartime, thus a man had to join the army to fight against evaders. Unfortunately, a man died in a battle that made a girl got distressed and sang sorrowful songs. She kept singing until her last breath. A herd of elephants heard this voice day and night and turned stone once her voice disappeared. A sudden explosion broke a mountain into two and a strong source of water fell off.
