The beauty of Son Doong Cave



The photo describes the beauty of Son Doong in the rainy season. Due to the weather conditions, you don't see the bright light coming from cave holes. Hang En is the third largest cave in the world, discovered and announced in 1994. There is a large lake with natural turquoise color. 
 
From the mouth of the cave, you have to go down to the bottom about 80 meters down with a rope. The road is steep, dark and slippery, taking you about 2 hours to travel. In Son Doong cave, the terrain is extremely diverse, you will see many narrow and slippery roads.
 
Some points, you have to wade through cold water, in the narrow gap just enough an outstretched arm, and moves in complete darkness, with the help of a flashlight. 
 
Son Doong is about 9 km long, 160 m wide and has a ceiling height of 200 m, large enough to accommodate a 40-storey building. The stalactite block is called the "Wedding Cake". In the cold weather, water pouring down from above makes the road slippery. The scene is very ghostly with misty mist like cave clouds.
