We came across Puong Cave while on a dirt bike tour through northern Vietnam, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of the trip. The only way to continue our route was to load our bikes onto a small metal boat and float through the cave—definitely not something you do every day.
The cave itself is massive—about 300 meters long and over 30 meters high—and it cuts right through a limestone mountain in Ba Be National Park. Drifting through it on the boat was surreal. Towering rock walls, thousands of bats overhead, and this echoey silence that made the whole thing feel kind of otherworldly.
We didn’t know it at the time, but later learned that archaeologists have found artifacts inside that date back hundreds of years—pottery from the Mac and Later Le dynasties. So not only is it stunning, it’s got serious history behind it.
If you're into nature, a bit of adventure, or just want to experience a less-touristy part of Vietnam, this is 100%...

PUONG CAVE is simply a large volume tunnel, through a limestone peak, with wide openings at each end. The distance between the entrance and exit points is little more than 300 meters and there’s plenty of ambient light throughout. At around the mid-point of the cave, the boat pulled over a cement landing to enable us to make an excursion up into the cave. There’s a cement pathway, of approximately 200 meters, which provides access deeper into the cave. My guide, Mr. Hai, informed me there was a high ceiling at the top of the pathway, with lots of resident bats. As we progressed further in, the sound of screeching bats got louder. There was also the noticeable stench of bat poo (guano). At the highest point along the pathway, I shone my torch up into the ceiling, some thirty meters above, and there were hundreds of bats milling about. The walking tour through cave took around thirty minutes to complete.

Điểm này cũng đáng tham quan, là một cái hang động lớn sông Năng chảy qua núi đá vôi. Mùa hè có lẽ hay hơn, có những bãi cát có thể tắm mát làn nước trong và dòng chảy không mạnh. Tới vào buổi chiều nắng sẽ ở bên phía cửa động lối thuyền vào sẽ đẹp hơn sáng. Đi từ bến thuyền chính phải hết gần 1 tiếng. Có bến gần hơn nhưng không rõ hoạt động thế nào. Còn ở bến chính thuê 1 thuyền tuyến này là 1 triệu, thuyền max 12 người, ngoài ra còn phải trả tiền vé tham quan vườn quốc gia 70k/người lớn. Thu phí rõ nhiều mà hang không chiếu sáng, rác nhiều không thu dọn, chẳng đặt thùng rác. Nhìn chung nếu đi đoàn đông thì chi phí tham quan còn tạm ổn, còn ít người phải thuê riêng 1 thuyền như vậy thì quá đắt,...
