Description

Sung Sot is the largest in cave Halong Bay and probably the best known. It draws visitors from far and wide especially those who are touring the bay on the many types of cruise ships.

When we visited the area there was fog which blotted out much of the detail of the karsts (limestone rock formations), of which there are many thousands. It is inside one of these karst that this cave is to be found.

Karst are extraordinary formations and there are 1,969 sunken limestone towers submerged in the indigo waters of Halong Bay. Inside many are a series of ancient caves and grottoes, many of which remained unexplored.
