Nguom Ngao cave, a name in Tay language which means tiger cave, in Khuoi Ky hamlet, Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang province, was formed over 300 million years ago and opened to tourists in 2003. With a length of over 2,000 meters, the cave has three main entrances: Nguom Ngao, Nguom Lom and Ban Thuon, each of which offers different exploration experiences. Inside the cave is a large space, decorated with thousands of stalactites with diverse shapes and colours, stimulating human’s imagination. From towering stone pillars to shimmering stone waterfalls like soft silk strips, to fragile stone curtains, all create a vivid and magical natural wonder. VNA Photo: Quốc Đạt
