The cave is located in Ngan Thuy Commune, Le Thuy District. It is named after General Vo Nguyen Giap (1911-2013), Vietnam’s legendary military leader.
From 1971 to 1973, General Vo Nguyen Giap stayed in the cave and commanded military campaigns in southern Vietnam.
The cave has a system of stalactites which look like gold since they contain a large quantity of silica. The cave contains many other stalactite systems and small lakes.
The cave is located 40 kilometres to the southwest of Dong Hoi Town, the center of Quang Binh Province. It can be visited as part of a day tour or a two-day, one-night tour.
Quang Binh, often known as the kingdom of caves, is also home to the world’s largest cave, Son Doong Cave.
The province welcomed 3.9 million visitors in the year to December 5, an increase of 18 percent over the same period last year.
