    The name Trung Trang originates from Ba Chua Trung Trang - the person who is said to have recruited young men on the island to fight against foreign invaders. After bringing peaceful life to the people, she returned to practice in this cave and always silently sheltered the residents on the island. To remember that merit, people took her name to name the cave. Photo: Linh Boo

    In addition to the name Trung Trang cave, this cave is also known as the Navy Cave. During the anti-American resistance war, this place was once used by the Navy Command as a barracks and a communication system. Currently, many traces associated with that historical period are still preserved in the cave. Photo: Linh Boo

    Stone columns and bamboo shoots with diverse shapes make every step of exploration of tourists bring a new feeling. Many tourists spend a lot of time observing, associating the shape of stalactite blocks with familiar animals, characters or works.

    Not only possessing unique geological landscapes, Trung Trang cave is also a habitat for many characteristic animal and plant species. In the darkness of the cave, visitors can encounter bat colonies living for many years. This is also the reason why this place was once called Bat cave by locals. Besides, there are also many species of insects, reptiles, moss, and fungi growing on wet rock surfaces. Photo: Linh Boo

"The length of the cave is moderate, the path is quite easy, so both family or group of friends can visit. I bought a combo ticket to visit Trung Trang cave and Cat Ba National Park for 120,000 VND/adult, while the elderly and children get a 50% discount," Ms. Hoa said. Photo: Linh Boo
