General Vo Nguyen Giap's Cave: Tourism Exploitation

In early 2019, the General Cave in Ngan Thuy Commune (Le Thuy District, Quang Binh) was put into tourism exploitation. Local people often call this cave the General Cave or Ong Giap Cave, because in the years 1971 - 1973, General Vo Nguyen Giap used this cave to live and command campaigns on the southern front.

This cave has a system of stalactites that look like gold because the stalactites contain a lot of silicon. In the cave there are many other stalactite systems such as custard apple stalactites, tube stalactites, cloud stalactites... and small lakes, where many animals live such as crabs, spiders...

The cave has a 3-storey structure, about 30 - 100m wide and an average height of 60m with diverse and unique geological structures inside the cave.

Inside the cave, there is a stalagmite shaped like a human head, which reminds many people of the image of General Vo Nguyen Giap. There is also a small stage in the cave for soldiers and artists to perform in the cave. This is a vestige related to the anti-American resistance war in the cave. Another special highlight of the cave is the stalactites, the geology accidentally created a heart-shaped space. This place is called the "tunnel of love" by the locals.

In particular, in the area surrounding the cave, there are many other caves associated with the history of resistance in Quang Binh province such as the cultural cave, the weapons cave, the medical cave... This is a cave system used by soldiers and people of Ngan Thuy commune during the resistance war against the US.

Dai Tuong Cave is about 40 km southwest of Dong Hoi city center. Coming to Dai Tuong Cave, visitors can not only admire the majestic nature, meet friendly people, but also learn about the glorious history of this land. The cave is designed for one-day or two-day-one-night tours.
