Vai Gioi Cave — Attraction in Ninh Bình Province

This is a an unbelievable natural wonder. I’m no geologist but a limestone cave in the middle of a mountain that you have to walk up a good flight of stairs (let’s say 500) to is amazing. the static tights, stallimites and columns are huge. this is essentially a hollow mountain that when you walk to the top of it, from inside, you can sit on a stool and enjoy the view. Heavens Gate.

The kicker is is that no one is there to see this wonder with you. This is off the beaten track and the staircase inside has rusty rails. I have no idea why it is not a major attraction thinking years to come. We will not be so privilege to enter this cave.

Do yourself a favour. Visit Vai Gioia caves. If you’re not into limestone caves, simply the ride or drive through the local countryside...

As Always rule No. 1: don't do stupid shit and...

Steepy steps, get ready for sweat! Just after the first ticket counter, on the hill way to the park on right side, you will find the stairway to the cave. Inside of it, nice adventure. By the time I went there, 6:30 pm, there was no one as well as no lights, so had to deal with my phone lamp for more thrill. Starting with earth floor, you go down to hell floor. The stone are amazing. One reminds me a complete jaw from a whale or Alien. Up there, another staircase to heaven floor. Until you find a statue and a praying altar, and above, a window to the lake outside. From bottom to entrance I counted 449...
