Located in the centre of the World Heritage area, Bai Tu Long Bay covers an area of 2000 sqm., Thien Canh Son Cave offers a wild and mysterious beauty. This is the reason why we choose to bring tourists here - to discover the geological value of the bay, and to enjoy a cosy dinner with family and friends in sparkling candlelight.
The pathway to Thien Canh Son Cave is set below the forest canopy and a stone cliff, so tourists have the feeling they are climbing towards heaven. Inside the cave, is a strange beauty - an image of a lotus, a picture of baby elephant. The ceiling of the cave is covered with a layer of shiny ‘carpets', numerous sparkling stalactites appear like “hanging lamps”. Stone statues, stone elephants, seals, flowers - all seem to create an imaginary world as if in a dream.
