Attractions of Halong Bay #7 Thien Cung Cave
Another famously impressive cave in Halong Bay is the Thien Cung Cave. The cave is situated on Dau Go Island which is placed mid-way between the mainland and the famous Cat Ba Island. Halong Bay of course is one of the best attractions of Vietnam; a 500 million year old paradise that was inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage Site list and also voted as one of the world’s “Seven Wonders Of Nature”.
The caves are all spectacular, they are not small, the Thien Cung Cave covers well over 100,000 square feet. It takes tour groups an hour just to walk through it. Incredible stalagmites, stalactites and columns are everywhere. The caves are all lit using cheesy coloured lighting systems which is all a bit too Disney for my liking, but they are still breathtaking.
All of the Halong Bay cruise boats take in one of the caves. If you don’t stop at Thien Cung Cave ( Heavenly Cave) you will go to either Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) or Dau Go Cave (Cavern of Wonders) . This one is on the same island as Dau Go Cave about 2 miles along the cliff face. The guides that take you round love to liken just about every rock to an animal or a mythical creature, telling tales of ancient legends surrounding the bay. Legends are something of a preoccupation among Vietnamese people; but it’s all good fun.
The caves are a huge part of the attractions of Halong Bay which in itself is the biggest tourist attraction in Vietnam.

what a place man..
Btw i got sp lease
Glad to hear it. I'm still not sure how it works and what the benefits are. It has taken me 5 months to build up to 360.000. Lending it out for what seems like such a small return sounds way too risky. I want to get mine over 500 as soon as possible. But I don't want to power up at the moment as I am using SD to promote and boost articles. Thanks for commenting as always.
It works in this way-
The more sp you have, the more will be vote's payout.
Look at the vote you gave me. It's worth 0.17$.
When your sp will get high, your vote payout will be more.
And thats not sd, Its sbd.
Thats all bro
look at the vote i gave you. its worth 0.12$ now because of sp lease now. But my real sp power is about 32 which brings only 0.01$.
I hope you are clear about sp
Yeah, I get that. But after spending two or three hours every day, I'm not going to risk losing 300sp by lending it to someone I don't know. No offence, but it's not going to happen. My SP is real, not leased, in about 2 months it will be over the 500 mark which is a game changer. I also reckon my reputation will hit 60 within 3 months. That's Dolphin, that's real power.
