Coming to Cat Ba island, we cannot ignore an attractive tourist destination that is Da Hoa Cave in Gia Luan commune. Gia Luan commune is located in the north of Cat Ba island adjacent to Ha Long Bay and is also a ferry port connecting to Tuan Chau (Quang Ninh).
The cave is located at an altitude of about 15 meters, 20 meters above the residential area, 50 meters above sea level. The height of the cave is about 10 meters, the widest part of the cave is 25 meters, and the length is about 100 meters. The top of the cave has many stalactites with shapes like wonderful sculptures of nature. Below the cave floor, there is a small lake that increases the mystery when light passes through.
The shapes of the stalactites have the appearance of human and animal statues, making us think of characters in fairy tales. What is most special is that here, archaeologists have excavated and discovered a fossil tooth of an ancient ape man dating back tens of thousands of years ago. This discovery is a proof of the existence of ancient apes on Cat Ba island. Discover cheap Cat Ba tours.
Although located not far from residential areas, Da Hoa Cave is almost intact without human abuse. With a very favorable location, geography and convenient transportation system, Da Hoa Cave is an ideal address for tourists who are curious about archaeological tourism. The cultural sector of Cat Ba island district is currently having a program to protect and research to introduce Stone Flower Cave to all tourists in the archaeological tourism system of Cat Ba island.
