According to information from the Management Board of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, the newly discovered cave has a vertical depth of about 350m. Inside the cave, there is a waterfall, creating a unique landscape and geological structure. The cave is assessed to have great potential value both in terms of science and tourism development potential.
However, the survey work is still in the initial stage. Many areas inside the cave are not accessible for surveying and research due to the rugged terrain and potential risks.
In the near future, functional agencies and a team of experts will continue to organize in-depth surveys to clearly identify the scale, structural characteristics as well as the value of newly discovered caves and waterfalls. Official information will be announced after the research is completed.
The discovery of new caves continues to show the outstanding potential of the cave system in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, while opening up more research directions in the fields of geology, ecology and creating space for sustainable tourism development.
Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park was recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2003 and expanded in 2015. This heritage is highlighted by a system of ancient karsts hundreds of millions of years old and more than 300 large and small caves. Many caves are of world-leading scale such as Son Doong Cave, Phong Nha Cave, Paradise Cave.
Besides its geological value, this place also has a diverse tropical forest ecosystem, contributing to making it a typical destination for exploration tourism and scientific research in Vietnam.
