Create an itinerary including Dong Thien Cung

One of the main sites in the network of caves surrounding Ha Long Bay, Dong Thien Cung sits shrouded in local myths of dragons and lovers. During this first stop on many of the bay’s cave tours, you'll encounter a complex, naturally formed interior of stalactites, stalagmites, and cathedral-like dome ceilings spread over roughly 10,000 sq m (10,7639 sq ft). Said to have hosted the seven-day wedding festivities of the dragon king and cloud princess, many of the eerily lit rock formations are attributed to guests of the mythical party turning into stone. Ask your guide to point out the numerous characters while carefully walking to the center of the cave.

Good cave in Halong Bay for visiting but it is very crowded in Thien Cung Cave. If you visit it in local holiday season in summer from June to Sep it is too crowded:

You can only get here on a boat. There are lots of steps to climb but the caves are a natural wonder. There are so many interesting angles as the pathway winds around the cave. You can pay for...
