Especially, what actually attracts people to the hotspot is its incredible caves and grottos everywhere, such as Heaven Cave, Dau Go Cave, Pelican Cave, Surprising Cave, Virgin Cave, etc. Even entering those caves, you still find it difficult to believe your eye that the nature creates breathtaking masterpieces by limestone as such.
