A cave as large as it is beautiful and magical. In 1991 a local shepherd discovered it, but, afraid of the strange and mysterious echo that came from inside, he never revealed to anyone where the cave was. It was first used as a bombing shelter during the Vietnam War. The underground passage is so large that the end has not yet been found. Hang Son Doong is one of 150 caves that form a tunnel in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, about 500 kilometers from the capital, Hanoi. Several expeditions show that the space occupies at least 4.5 km and that in some places the cave reaches a height of 140 meters.
