    According to Mr. Le Luu Dung, director of Jungle Boss Company, an adventure tour company in Quang Binh, last May, when an expedition team explored Thung Cave in the Hung Thoong Cave system, they discovered Lo Lung Lake. Photo: Le Luu Dung

    A member of the group, while climbing down the rope into the sinkhole of Thung cave, moved through the underground river of this cave and shined a flashlight to see the vast darkness that the flashlight could not reach. Then, following the rocky gorge halfway up the cave wall, they approached the mysterious lake. The rocky gorge leading to the lake was later named Lung Trung Gorge. Photo: Le Luu Dung
    Ho Lo Lung nam o do cao lung chung hang, muc nuoc khi do cao hon dong song ngam hang Thung khoang 15m. Tren mat ho co nhieu cot thach nhu khong lo nhin nhu dang troi lo lung nen ho duoc dat ten theo dac diem nay.
    The Floating Lake is located halfway up the cave, the water level is about 15m higher than the underground river of Thung Cave. On the surface of the lake there are many giant stalactites that look like they are floating, so the lake is named after this feature. Photo: Le Luu Dung
    Ho nuoc moi duoc phat hien trong hang Thung nay co cau tao dang ham ech. Phia tren mat ho dien tich nho hon phan day ho. Mat ho rong khoang 100m2 con day theo ong Dung chua do duoc vi muc nuoc sau chung 6,5m. “Do sau nay duoc danh gia la rat bat thuong voi mot ho canxi trong hang dong, binh thuong cac ho canxi chi sau khoang 2 - 3m” ong Dung cho biet.
    The newly discovered lake in Thung Cave has a frog-shaped structure. The surface of the lake is smaller than the bottom of the lake. The surface of the lake is about 100 square meters wide, but the bottom has not been measured because the water level is about 6.5 meters deep. "This depth is considered very unusual for a calcium lake in a cave, normally calcium lakes are only about 2 - 3 meters deep," said Mr. Dung. Photo: Le Luu Dung
    Ho Lo Lung cung nhu cac ho canxi trong hang dong khac xuat hien trong qua trinh hinh thanh hang dong. He thong da voi va cac khoang chat xuyen qua tran hang sau hang tram ngan nam da tao nen cac loai thach nhu va ho canxi cung la mot dang thach nhu hang dong.
    The Floating Lake, like other cave calcium lakes, appeared during the formation of the cave. The limestone system and minerals that penetrated the cave ceiling after hundreds of thousands of years created stalactites and the calcium lake is also a type of cave stalactite. Photo: Le Luu Dung
    Tuy nhien, diem dac biet cua ho Lo Lung la do sau va vi tri cua no. Theo ong Dung, quan sat trong suot mua he vua roi thi da so cac ho canxi khac trong hang Thung deu can nuoc, nhung rieng ho Lo Lung khong can. Vi the thoi diem nao kham pha hang Thung du khach cung co the trai nghiem ho nay.
    However, the special feature of Lo Lung Lake is its depth and location. According to Mr. Dung, observing during the past summer, most of the other calcium lakes in Thung Cave were dry, but Lo Lung Lake was not dry. Therefore, at any time of exploring Thung Cave, visitors can experience this lake. Photo: Le Luu Dung

    The Floating Lake has a magical, emerald green water color. Not only does it provide a unique experience for adventure tourism, this lake also holds many values ​​for geomorphological research on caves in Quang Binh. Photo: Le Luu Dung

    Currently, visitors can only access Lo Lung Lake by walking into the Hung Thoong campsite, continuing to walk into the Thung cave sinkhole, swinging 25m down the sinkhole and then following Lung Chung alley. Visitors can explore Lo Lung Lake as well as explore Thung cave all year round except for stormy days and high water levels. Every year, the flood season in Phong Nha - Ke Bang, Quang Binh falls in late September and October. Photo: Le Luu Dung

    In addition to the newly discovered Lo Lung Lake, visitors to Hung Thoong can also explore many other caves and calcium lakes. An indispensable activity on trips here is swimming in the calcium lakes, admiring thousands of stalactites with many interesting shapes. Photo: Le Luu Dung
