decode.
This is a destination that Western tourists are willing to pay $ 3,000

1. Discovered in a rainy day
In 1991, Ho Khanh, a local, accidentally discovered Son Doong cave when he flee into the store to avoid rain. Bang go some time, it was not until 2009 when the expedition Association of British royal cave exploration area, Ho Khanh new report them.
Part of the roof of the cave collapsed a few centuries ago. As a result, rain water and sunlight can reach here, creating favorable conditions for plant development in the grotto. Photo: Huffington Post.
He struggled to find the entrance which is located deep in the jungle with rugged terrain, away from the main road and not be seen with Google Earth. Thanks to his guidance, the expedition went deep into the cave photography, surveying and collecting scientific data. Kang Ho describes: "when entered the store simply feel there is always a cool breeze blowing speed in the cave, the wind hissed through the air heard cliffs ...".
2. Can accommodate a 40-storey building
Hang Son Doong has a width of 150 m, 200 m high, at least 5 km. The actual length of the cave may be even deeper than the scientists recorded. However, the explorers of the Royal Association of British Cave can not go out of the cave depth due to technical limitations.
Still, with dimensions noted, Son Doong cave has passed Deer in Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysia (120 m high, 150 m wide, 2 km long) to be recognized as the largest natural cave that world.
In addition, some sections inside the cave Son Doong size to 140 mx 140 m, including 14 m high stone columns. Photographer Carsten Peter used to take a photo recorded cave section width of about 91.44 m, 243.84 m-high roof of the cave, which means we can accommodate caught a 40-storey high building inside.
3. Formed 5 million years ago
According to scientific literature, Son Doong cave formed when river water flows through the limestone buried along a fault line. Over millions of years, erosion and water currents create a giant tunnel in the ground below the mountains. In areas where soft rock, forming part of the ceiling collapsed holes, hang long into giant domes.
4. World fauna rich
Do Son Doong cave's ceiling collapsed centuries ago in the grotto should have a lush forest, the explorers named Eden forest. This forest is inhabited by monkeys and flying foxes. Many types of ferns, palms, vines greening from outside to inside the cave.
The ancient lakes, waterfalls, rivers inside the grotto formed mats of algae rich flora.
In particular, the explorers also discovered species of pearl is formed in the process of dripping water, created calcite crystals on the sand.
5. Why restrict visitors to Son Doong Cave
Son Doong cave reason to welcome visitors is limited by protective factors and environmental landscape. Currently, the mysterious world inside the cave fauna have yet to be decoded before. So Son Doong cave explorers welcome, experts biological research is more than curious visitors.
