A unique cave awaits explorers in Quang Binh Province

The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park surrounded by the Truong Son mountain range is home to hundreds of breathtaking caves. Va Cave is among the 20 latest caves discovered by a group of explorers from the British Caving Association.

The stalagmites and stalactites in the cave are unique and shaped like bamboo shoots lined up like chess pieces on a chessboard.

Va Cave is in the less popular core zone. Ho Khanh, a cave expert in Quang Binh, said it is a mysterious cave. The majestic stalagmites and stalactites inside the cave are in strange shapes that are hard to find in other caves and created by a river flowing through the cracks of these natural stones.

The cave has huge spaces as well as small ones that can fit one person. At the end of the cave are stalagmites and stalactites arranged one on top of the other around a calm lake.

Water plays an important role in shaping these stalagmites as the “stone shoots” grow from the water, earning the stalagmites the name “Thach Thuy”.

Oxalis now offers one-day and two-day tours of the Va Cave for both professional and amateur trek-kers.

Borrow money to rescue cats and dogs When talking about the cats and dogs that she is taking care of, Ngoc Hanh (nicknamed Na) always affectionately calls them her “little children.” Most of these cats and dogs wander or are abused and abandoned by their owners and when they reach Na, they are in a very sick or even near-death state. Therefore, she has to spend a large amount of money every month to take care of them and treat them. Photo: phunuvietnam.vn One of the pets that Na has just saved is MiNa, last month the medicine for MiNa was more than USD 83, the total veterinary bill was more than USD 209. She confided: “Their medicine is very expensive, even more expensive mine. People often laugh at me because my salary is low but I rescue dogs but I eat less and shop less. Also, I’m lucky to meet a caring vet who supports a small part of my veterinary bill every month and help me save many “children”. To cover the rest, I go to work to earn money and borrow some more t...
