About Paradise Cave And Mooc Spring
Paradise Cave has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park for many reasons. Indeed, it attracts tourists due to the charismatic rock formations and heavenly ambiance.
Moreover, the British Caving Association gave it the title of the most beautiful and longest dry cave in Asia. It has been created continuously by nature for over 350 million years. Also, the 31.4 km cave is filled with many beautiful stalactites and stalagmites.
Its scientific and aesthetic values make it an appealing cave in Quang Binh that tourists will discover and enjoy.
Mooc Spring is a recreational area based on the turquoise Mooc Spring in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. It’s close to Paradise Cave, so they go well in a Paradise Cave and Mooc Spring tour.
“Mooc” is a dialect of the word “mọc,” which means “to grow” in English. Its name refers to the feature of water growing from underground geysers. Plus, the spring surfaces at the bottom of a karst cliff. Due to the huge amount of water that sometimes erupts from this area, researchers believe that this may be the next biggest cave system to be found in the world and that it could lead all the way to Laos.
Therefore, those features provide visitors with cool water with a unique blue color and an incredibly fresh environment to enjoy.
