This move aims to preserve a series of newly discovered cave systems, including Cha Cung, Cha Rao, and especially Son Nu cave. This will contribute to the rational development of ecotourism and community-based tourism destinations in Truong Son mountainous commune during the 2020-2025 period.
The pristine beauty of Son Nu Cave in Truong Son commune has recently been discovered.
The People's Committee of Truong Son commune requests all agencies and departments located in the area to strengthen efforts to mobilize and educate the people and tourists to work together to preserve and protect the caves. Any actions that affect the stalactite and stalagmite formations in the caves are strictly prohibited. Climbing, stepping on, or directly touching the stalactites and stalagmites will lead to erosion, hinder their growth, and cause them to lose their natural beauty.
Previously, the Health and Life newspaper reported that many people disagreed with the cave exploration team's actions of climbing onto the stalactite formations to sit and take photos, and moving on the stalactites...
Mr. Hoang Trong Duc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Truong Son commune, said that after the survey, they will report to higher levels of government to propose a plan for tourism development in the locality.

Howard Limbert, head of the expedition from the Royal British Cave Association, said that stalactites and stalagmites in caves are very fragile entities. Stalactites are masterpieces formed from rock and water over a very long period of time, possibly hundreds of millions of years.
Standing on stalactites and stalagmites can cause damage. Even touching them with your hands can affect their texture, as sweat on your hands can damage them.
Experts hope that relevant units will take timely measures to protect the stalactite and stalagmite system.
Experts hope that relevant units will conduct accurate surveys and examine the elements within the cave to determine its potential for tourism development. Simultaneously, timely measures should be taken to protect the stalactite and stalagmite formations.
