The most captivating attraction in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is Thien Duong Cave (Paradise Cave), followed by Phong Nha Cave and Tien Son Cave. The scenery of Thien Duong Cave lives up to its name – breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland. The myriad shapes of stalactites and stalagmites, formed by nature in a strange way, create an irresistible sight.
Nhat Le Beach
Address: Dong Hoi City
Nhat Le Beach attracts tourists with its clear blue water and fine white sand, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Located in the center of Dong Hoi city, it boasts a well-developed tourism, entertainment, and dining scene. The calm waves of Nhat Le Beach make it safe for children to swim. The most enjoyable experience at Nhat Le Beach is watching the sunrise and strolling along the shore at sunset.
Bang Hot Springs
Address: Kim Thuy Commune, Le Thuy District
For a long time, Bang hot spring has been an attractive destination in Quang Binh province, drawing many visitors every year. The Bang hot spring's water is entirely natural, so soaking in it for an extended period can help improve various health conditions and prevent illness. The spring water remains warm year-round, making it suitable for visitors at any time of year.
Mooc Stream
Address: Thuong Trach, Bo Trach
Mooc Stream is a newly emerging tourist destination in Quang Binh, yet incredibly attractive to all visitors. Its picturesque and romantic scenery is perfect for those seeking a peaceful place to relieve stress and fatigue. Here, you can stroll along the cool stream, crossing bridges and rocks along the course like a treasure hunt. For those who enjoy sports and adventurous activities, there are thrilling options such as kayaking on the lake or simply relaxing in the water without worrying about not knowing how to swim.
Jumping Rocks Beach
Address: Bo Trach District
Jumping Rocks Beach is also a beautiful and unique beach in Quang Binh that tourists should visit. It's called Jumping Rocks Beach because there are many rocks of varying sizes jutting out into the sea. The seawater at Jumping Rocks Beach is quite clear, and the rocks blocking the view make the beach feel less spacious than Nhat Le Beach, but it's still quite safe. The uniquely shaped rocks of Jumping Rocks Beach give photos a more wild and authentic feel. This can be considered a unique scenic spot in Quang Binh that tourists should visit.
Vung Chua - Yen Island
Address: Quang Dong Commune, Quang Trach District
Vũng Chùa Island is known as the resting place of General Võ Nguyên Giáp – the brilliant general who led patriotic Vietnamese soldiers against foreign oppression and liberated the nation from colonial rule. This is a place where Vietnamese people come to pay their respects and gratitude to the beloved general. Visitors are advised to dress respectfully and avoid causing disturbances or making noise that might affect the general's peaceful rest.
Son Doong Cave
Address: Son Trach Commune, Bo Trach District
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang cave complex is considered the "First Wonder of Caves," one of the most beautiful natural attractions in the world. Son Doong Cave features an underground river, endless stretches of sandbanks, and countless stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Entering the cave, humans feel incredibly small in the face of nature's grandeur. However, explorers say that the beauty and mystique of Son Doong Cave are directly proportional to the level of danger faced by visitors. Son Doong Cave is open to tourists for exploration, but with very limited numbers – only four tours per month, each costing $3000 USD. A trip to explore Son Doong Cave is considered both exciting and perilous.
