We were on a private boat tour of Halong Bay. Some islands have cave and white sand beaches. We stopped at one of those called Thien Canh Son Cave. Besides the manmade steps, it looks just like other rocky islands. It’s hard to tell there’s a cave inside.
Our boat arrived there so early around 7am and this is what the cave looked like. But after breakfast around 7:30am, I looked at it again, “oh my god, where are those tourists come from?” It looked like they suddenly came up of nowhere, even the way up was already crowded. (⊙_⊙) This cave gets very busy with tourists. You have to walk up hill in line with everyone else.
It took me about half an hour to reach the cave entrance. ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧ The entrance only allows one person to get in or out at a time. You have to be patient. It’s tight in some places and small steps; not good with overweight people, I think.
But there’s also a broaden place too where you can walk anywhere you want. They put light-up all over the cave. Everywhere looks bright enough; don’t have to use flashlight.
The cave has balcony too so you can take a break before going back. (o^ ^o)
It is small cave; not too much to walk. However, on the way down at the right side, there’s another manmade stone steps which leads you to a small beach at the other side. The scenery is stunning.
A cave and beach are next to each other. Thien Canh Son Cave is worth a visit. ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ
