Building a cable car to visit Phong Nha - Ke Bang
On October 23, the People's Committee of Quang Binh province said that the province has allowed Sun Group to survey and build a cable car line to take tourists to visit Son Doong cave in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park.
With a total investment of about 4,500 billion VND, the entire cable car route is expected to have four sections, with a total length of 10.6km.
Specifically, section 1 has a station starting from the front of Tien Son cave to the Tra Ang bridge area on the West branch of Ho Chi Minh road; section 2 from Tra Ang bridge to the back door of Son Doong cave; section 3 from the station at the back door of Son Doong cave to the station at the second sinkhole of Son Doong cave and section 4 from the station at the second sinkhole of Son Doong cave to the bottom of the second sinkhole in Son Doong cave.
This project is part of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang Tourism, Service and Resort Complex Project that Sun Group Corporation plans to invest in building in Quang Binh. Investors are conducting surveys to have a detailed report to submit to the Provincial People's Committee as soon as possible.
In recent times, Quang Binh continues to be an attractive destination for tourists. In the first 9 months of 2014, Quang Binh welcomed nearly 2.6 million visitors, an increase of more than 130% over the same period, of which international visitors reached 36,300, an increase of 27.5%; and travel tourists reached 650,700, an increase of 39.8% over the same period.
To better meet the needs of domestic and foreign tourists, Quang Binh continues to exploit Phong Nha - Ke Bang Botanical Garden as an eco-tourism destination. Accordingly, visitors will be able to visit Gio waterfall, Vang Anh lake, Specimen exhibition house, primeval forest ecosystems with many rare species of trees... This is considered an attractive destination for tens of thousands of tourists when coming to Phong Nha - Ke Bang in winter this year.
In September, Quang Binh also invested in the construction and put into operation phase 1 of a new tourism product: Zipline to explore caves, zipline to bathe in rivers and observe primates at the Song Chay - Hang Toi tourist route.
