Hang Son Doong in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam is the largest cave in the world.

There's a jungle inside Vietnam's mammoth cavern. A skyscraper could fit too. And the end is out of sight.

  • There's no such thing as a Vietnamese word with 2 consecutive vowels like "Doong." It's spelled Dong so I hope they fix this soon before it's known to the world with a mispelled word. That would be embarrassing.

  • @doetim : Hi, actually there are some Vietnamese words containg "oong" such as "xoong" (cooking pot), "boong" (chime of bell) or "boong tàu" (ship deck). But of course the number of such words is very small. The correct name of the cave in Vietnamese is "Hang Sơn Đoòng". :D

  • @civilianjeepvn Due to some parts in the cave was collapsed as a hole what they called Doline therefore trees grow inside

  • @Tenchcnet there are some passages in the cave that caver team could not explore due to lack of equipments, they will come back and check them out in March 2012

  • @doetim Hi - Son Doong is local name "word goes with 'oo' is very common in Quang Binh area, such as Nuo Mooc eco trail, Trooc village...it is local name and Son Doong is the name they wanted to use not by mistake...

  • @doetim you sir, just got pwned by @vanhoabui

  • I work closely with ben and bich from the phong nha farmstay for a company called oxalis adventure tours. We have the license to run the first ever tourist trek to and inside this cave in the first week of December. This will be a four day trek.
