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.

Foreigners excited to discover flower road in Hanoi

The blooming bauhinia variegata trees make many people think they are lost in the mountain of the Northwestern region. The bauhinia variegata flowers are conspicuous, white and purple, with five soft petals, featuring the typical beauty of the high mountain in the north. The Ban flower season starts in late February and lasts till April. When the flowers are blooming, they look like a fan. Although there are several colours, white and purple are the main colours. At the beginning of the flower season, many roads in Hanoi look more romantic and attractive. On weekends, many foreign visitors choose to call at Ciputra to watch bauhinia variegate blossoming. “We feel as if we get lost in a mountain in the northern highlands of Vietnam,” says Shachin, an Indian visitor and his wife. The Indian couple do not forget to capture an impressive moment right in Hanoi instead of travelling far up north. “We are very happy and l...
