History of Luon Cave

In reality, Luon Cave is nothing more than subterranean water flowing inside the mountain. The blue water acts as a translucent mirror, adding to the mystery and highlighting the cave's intrinsic wildness. A bow-shaped portal emerged along the water's edge, crossing the mountain range and leading directly into the cave. This is the location to go if you want to take some unique check-in shots. 

Since 1995, the ITALY Cave Exploration Sub-Institute research team has come to survey and appraise Luon Cave as one of the most beautiful and fascinating caves in Hoa Binh province. Luon Cave was designated a national historical and cultural treasure in 2011.
