Thien Canh Son Cave

Thien Canh Son Cave is a hidden gem located in Cong Do, part of Bai Tu Long Bay. Known for its stunning limestone formations and tranquil beauty, this cave attracts visitors from around the world. You can access Thien Canh Son by taking a cruise that includes it in the itinerary.

Often referred to as a “True Heaven on Earth” or the “pearl of Halong,” the cave features incredible stalactites that take on unique shapes, such as elephants and lotus flowers. The ceiling sparkles like a treasure, with stalactites hanging like natural lamps.

Legends and Exploration

Thien Canh Son Cave is steeped in local legends, which adds depth to its intriguing formations. To enter the cave, visitors climb about 100 stone steps through lush greenery and rugged cliffs, creating a sense of adventure.

Once you emerge from the cave, you’ll be met with breathtaking views of Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong Bay. Below, a beautiful white sandy beach with clear green waters invites you to swim, relax, or kayak to explore the area further.

Although smaller and less busy than Sung Sot Cave, Thien Canh Son offers just as much wonder. Dining experiences inside the cave were once a popular attraction, but to protect the cave’s delicate formations, such activities have been discontinued.
