Stop 4
Thien Cung Cave (Heaven Cave) has numerous stalactites and stalagmites with special and strange shapes.
Due to having the narrow cave door and the strongly development of the flora surrounding, the entrance of Thien Cung cave was hidden. Therefore, the cave was discovered quite late. In 1993, in a big storm, fishermen came here to avoid the storm and accidentally explored a large cave.
Because stalactites inside had the shapes of dragon, phoenix, and Four Pillars which made those people think about an imperial palace.
The cave was named as Thien Cung Cave (Heaven Cave). Indeed, visiting Thien Cung Cave, tourists may have the feeling of entering into a heavenly palace with the magic and magnificent system of stalactites.

A distinctive pair of karst islets jutting out from the calm waters of Halong Bay; the unique Hon Ga Choi Island has become one of the bay’s most memorable landmarks and among the most photographed attractions for cruise visitors. Located right in the heart of the bay, the jagged rock formations loom 12 meters over the water, improbably perched on narrow, weatherworn bases and appearing to lean towards each other.

Seafood in Halong is very diverse. Halong has not only the shrimp, prawn, squid, oyster, crab and fish… but also other weird type of seafood like: Cù Kỳ (a kind of crabs), Bề bề (it’s look like a prawn but not), Sá sùng – a kind of sea worms…
