Galaxy Cave is a breathtaking UNESCO cultural and natural heritage site located in Tuong Mountain. It is divided into two parts: a dry land section and a water section, which visitors navigate by boat. This place is famous not only for its stalactite formations but also for its rich archaeological history—traces of Neolithic human habitation have been found here.

About

What you need to know

With a total length of 700 meters, the cave offers two unique experiences: a 200-meter dry zone with natural lighting and a 500-meter water section that requires flashlights. Geologically, the cave features original stalactite and stalagmite systems that continue to grow actively. In the 10th century, the cave served as a strategic shelter for the defenders of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu. During your visit, pay attention to the stalactite resembling the figure of Buddha and the local bat population.
