Son Nu Cave is located in the core of the primeval forest with many giant stalactites and clear underground water flowing through the rapids.

Son Nu Cave is more than 1.5 km deep with many large stalactites newly discovered by people of Truong Son commune, Quang Ninh district in Diu Do village, sub-region 549. The name "Son Nu" was given by the people.

Mr. Hoang Trong Duc, Chairman of Truong Son Commune, said that Son Nu Cave is located in the primeval forest of the West Truong Son area, discovered by forest rangers. To get to Son Nu Cave, one must walk nearly 2 km along the stream.

The entrance to Son Nu Cave is adjacent to Khe May. To enter the cave, locals and adventurers must bring a SUP (stand up paddle board), flashlight, and life jacket.

They then had to cross many rapids inside the cave to reach the area with stalactites. The underground water was clear, however, when it rained heavily, entering the cave was very dangerous, according to the chairman of Truong Son commune.

In Son Nu cave there are many large stalactites.

Some points can be stops and check-ins.

The picture shows a strip of stalactites lying parallel to the water surface.

Mr. Hoang Trong Duc said that the new cave is very suitable for developing adventure tourism. "60% of the commune's population are Van Kieu people, their economic life is difficult. Putting Son Nu cave into tourism exploitation soon will help the local people here have more jobs," Mr. Duc said.

Visitors are amazed by the beauty of the stalactites.

The group exploring Son Nu Cave took a souvenir photo with a stalactite deep inside, after having crossed many rapids. Stalactites or stalagmites are formed from water droplets that have accumulated over hundreds, even thousands of years.

The clear water from Son Nu cave will flow towards Khe May.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Quy, Director of the Department of Tourism of Quang Binh province, said that the discovery of the new cave is good news for the local tourism industry.

"The Department of Tourism will coordinate with Quang Ninh district to survey and develop a tourism exploitation plan, but first of all, we must ensure the safety of tourists," said Mr. Quy.
