(Baonghean) -Thien Duong Cave is located about 24km from Ho Chi Minh road, in the heart of a limestone mountain complex at an altitude of 191m, surrounded by the primeval forest of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.

A magnificent, mysterious beauty, like a massive complex of artistic masterpieces that nature bestows upon mankind.

It can be said that Thien Duong Cave is a new and attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists. Thien Duong Cave is considered one of the most beautiful and longest caves in the world (with a length of more than 31km).

In 2005, a local resident accidentally discovered a valuable cave located right in the heart of the World Natural Heritage - Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Upon hearing the news, Dr. Howawd Limbert (British Royal Caves Association) immediately organized an exploration of the cave and announced very surprising results. Thien Duong Cave is more than 31 km long, 30 to 100 m wide, up to 150 m at its widest point; the height from the bottom of the cave to the ceiling is about 60 - 80 m, and is considered by the British Royal Caves Association as one of the most magnificent caves that the group has ever surveyed in many caves in the world, and the most beautiful cave in Asia. The majestic structure, magical and magnificent beauty of the cave has amazed the survey participants. And from the interesting associations of a "Heavenly Palace" on earth, right in the heart of the World Natural Heritage, the idea of naming it "Paradise Cave" arose.
