Phong Nha - Ke Bang is a national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Quang Binh Province, and is about 200 km north of Hue, Vietnam. In 2005, scientists from the British Cave Research Association discovered a new cave and named it Paradise Cave (động Thiên Đường). It took about a 5 hour drive from Hue and then a trip on a golf cart to reach the site. We then walked up 500 steps to the cave entrance and down 200 steps to the bottom of the cave. Paradise Cave is the longest cave in Vietnam, at 31.4 kilometers long and 60 meters high. It has the most magnificent stalactites in Vietnam.
