The cave is divided into two main compartments, the entire first compartment is like a large and spacious theater. The ceiling of the cave is covered with a layer of shiny “velvet carpet”, countless “chandeliers” hanging with glittering stalactites, stone statues, stone elephants, seals, raspberries, flowers, etc. fluttering between reality and dream. Still amazed by the magical beauty in the first compartment, we entered the second compartment by a small path. A stream of bright light poured in, the cave opened up a completely different scene, preventing the vast cave that could accommodate thousands of people. Going into the landscape, there are still many strange things, such as the ancient banyan tree with luxuriant foliage, sea bears, dinosaurs… At the highest peak of the cave, suddenly a “royal garden” opens in front of our eyes, the landscape is charming, all kinds of plants and many species of birds live. Groups of monkeys often drag each other down here to find fruit, causing an uproar in the whole area. The cave is located in the tourist center of Ha Long Bay (Titop Island – Trong cave – Me Cung cave – Luon cave – Amazing cave) and was given the name “Grotte des surprises” by the French.
