Bich Dong Pagoda. You go up a few steps through a cave. The effort is worth it

The temple "down below" is nice to look at, but the real wow factor is the cave that goes with it (which also has an "altar")! You just have to climb a few steps up - it's definitely worth the effort and you shouldn't miss it! ☝🏻

Highlight • Natural Monument

Unusual landscape composition with steep karst rocks, flooded valleys and very low/narrow "wet" caves. Everything can be experienced during a 3-hour rowing boat tour. The World Heritage title has been awarded here for good reason.
