Sung Sot Cave is divided into two main compartments with an open and closed structure. After each narrow passage, the space is widened, the deeper into the compartment, the larger the area and the more impressive the scenery.

Each compartment in the cave has its own unique features but all surprise visitors, true to the name of the cave. In particular, the outer compartment is likened to a giant "opera house" with a curved dome and many stalactites sparkling like lights. From the cave floor to the ceiling, the cave is about 30m high.

Notably, entering the outer compartment towards the ceiling, visitors see small dents that seem to be elaborately and delicately carved by human hands.

The last compartment is entered through a small path and opens up a completely different scene, with a vast cave that can accommodate thousands of people. Coming here, visitors are not only amazed by the strange beauty but also admire the majestic, wonderful things that nature has bestowed upon humans. Each scene in the cave brings visitors new and surprising feelings.

According to statistics from the Ha Long Bay Management Board, on average, Sung Sot Cave welcomes about 1 million visitors each year. In the photo is the cave mouth seen from the water surface.
