Morning America (ABC Television), Son Doong Cave would be introduced widely to
international travellers.
This is a good chance for Quang Binh tourism to promote the image of Son Doong – the
biggest cave in Viet Nam – to travellers around the world. Therefore, the film crew worked in
the most favourable conditions. The programme was directly broadcast on satellite in May
2015.
The cave is a part of the underground system connecting over 150 other caves in Viet Nam
near Viet Nam - Lao border with many caves such as Phong Nha Cave.
Son Doong Cave is compared equally to Mount Everest in terms of attraction. The biggest
natural cave in the world is appreciated to be an interesting destination for a several-day tour,
including exploring underground rivers, caves and camping... The overwhelming natural
landscapes inside Son Doong Cave create an attraction by majestic and magnificent scenes. It
takes months to end up a cave's round. In addition, the condition to join tours in Son Doong
Cave is extremely high. Adventurers must be in good mental and physical health to conquer
the cave. Son Doong, the biggest cave in Viet Nam, along with other attractions in Quang
Binh, is an attractive destination for travelers, especially those who are fans of natural
exploration. The first exploration tour was held in early August 2013. The first tour consisted
of 6 people from the US, Russia, Australia, and Norway. They underwent 7 days and 6 nights
to explore Son Doong Cave. There are a large number of tourists registering for next tours
since then.
