Discover Hang Tien 1 Cave in Phong Nha | On The Road with Niall and Adrie #5
Hang Tien 1 is part of a vast cave system in Phong Nha, connected by a river and featuring around 30 individual caves. In this episode, we explore the challenges of making these caves accessible for tourism and uncover fascinating details about their discovery and naming history.
With an entrance measuring a massive 90 meters high and 50 meters wide, Hang Tien 1’s entrance is even larger than the world-famous Son Doong Cave. However, Son Doong holds the title of the world's largest cave by volume, spanning an incredible 38.4 million cubic meters.
