This cave is located on the back of a mountain, 200m from Phong Nha Cave entrance, part of the Phong Nha Cave system. To visit this cave, visitors must climb 583 steps.

According to researcher Thai Van Kiem, through the introduction of local people, Tien Son Cave was discovered by a local in April 1935. The very next day, the then Central Region Resident Gzeffeuil visited Tien Son Cave, so the Cave is also called "Resident's Cave".

The news of the discovery of Tien Son Cave spread throughout the country and abroad, attracting many researchers, especially archaeological researchers. In 1936, a French archaeologist named Madeleine Colani (1866-1943, born in Strasbourg, France and died in Hanoi, Vietnam) came to Tien Son Cave, her purpose was to find ancient Vietnamese relics in the cave but found none. However, in front of the beautiful scenery of the cave, Madeleine Colani said that Tien Son Cave was like a fairyland.

In 1999, the British Royal Cave Association conducted a survey of the entire cave, which was 980.6m. Because Tien Son Cave is located at an altitude of 200m above sea level and 120m above the Son River, it was not until April 9, 2000 that Quang Binh province put it into tourism exploitation.

Phong Nha – Ke Bang Tourism Center said that when reopening this time, Tien Son Cave has been renovated with a system of paths, stops, check-in photo spots, ecological roofs made of native climbing flowers, and rocky mountain flower roads.

The center also invested in a new "Fairyland Glass Bridge" so that visitors can look down to see the rice fields, corn fields, sugarcane fields right at the foot of the mountain, take check-in photos at a height of nearly 100m above the river level and is the first glass bridge in Quang Binh. Create a space to stop and admire the majestic panorama of the charming mountains and rivers, the peaceful countryside on the way up to Tien Son cave.
