Hang Hung
One of the most beautiful places in Hung Thoong that you will discover is Hung Cave.

When you step inside the cave, you will feel that all the effort is completely worth it. Opening up in front of you is a large, wonderful space, featuring the beauty of unique colorful stalactites. Seen from below, the millions of years old stalactites in Hung cave look exactly like the curtains made from stone, adorning the scene here more fanciful and splendid.

Round Cave
In addition to Hung cave, Tron cave is the next destination that you can experience. The reason for this name is because there is a round mouth like a magical gate leading to the garden of Eden. Deep inside, the cave has a lake about 1.2km long so you can swim or paddle SUP here.
The feeling of standing on a paddle board, slowly floating on the jade-green water, watching the stalactites in the long and deep cave will make you overwhelmed by the majestic but equally poetic beauty of nature.

Hang Thung
After going through Hung cave and Tron cave, you will discover Thung cave. To get here, you have to cross the forest and wade streams, then swim through a large lake, about 80m long. Next you have to swing the cliff climbing rope and finally swim through another small lake to get deep into the cave. The distance is quite long and difficult, requiring the explorer to have high endurance.
When swimming through the small lake, you will come to a sinkhole about 30m high. This is a rare place that receives direct light from outside. Therefore, the vegetation in this area is quite lush. The sun shines from above into the sinkhole, dyeing the whole area yellow, creating a space that makes anyone fall in love with it.
