Dong Thien Cung, Halong Bay

3.8

#6 of 15 in Parks in Halong Bay

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.

ガイドさんと他のメンバーはショートカットされた道を進んだらしいが私達6名は明かりも乏しいロングコースを回ってしまった。途中が何となく心細かったが携帯が繋がるところまで来て、道に迷ったと分かる。軽くバックトゥーザヒューチャー気分で、今思えば良い思い出だ。 more »

Guide's got around the scarce light long course our six other members seems to be advanced on road was cut short. You can see so far is somewhat disheartening that connect mobile and lost. Expect light backtusahugure mood, now if you want.

中はとても広くて足元はコンクリートで道や階段ができていて観光向きです。天井が高くて広いので狭いところが苦手な人でも大丈夫だと思います。 more »

Staff in one's feet in concrete roads and stairs are ready, is a tourism-oriented. I think even people who are afraid of narrow, high ceilings and wide so OK.
