Through actual inspection, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Thanh Hoa confirmed that this is a cave with underground streams flowing inside and many beautiful natural stalactites, which need to be preserved and promoted in association with local tourism development. The exploitation of stone at Dun Mountain will directly affect the cave (the cave will be filled and collapsed due to rolling stones and landslides).
After receiving reports from the authorities, on April 15, Mr. Le Duc Giang, Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, signed a document to temporarily suspend mineral exploitation at the limestone mine area at Dun Mountain, Ha Long Commune, Ha Trung District of Tien Thinh Company Limited.
The temporary suspension of mining here allows competent units and agencies to inspect and evaluate Dun Mountain specifically and comprehensively because during the mining process, a new cave was discovered...
Thanh Hoa Center for Historical Research and Cultural Heritage Conservation is coordinating with relevant units to conduct a comprehensive survey and assessment of the scale, value, historical, cultural, heritage and tourism significance of the above cave.
