Take a short rest for the view of the bay, take photo of the stunning scenery before having seafood lunch while cruising through the emerald water between the limestone outcrops and long corridors, visit THIEN CUNG cave (the cave of the heavenly palace-famous for its stalagmites and stalactites), the cave has only opened to the public since 1998. A short way to visit the DAU GO grotto (wooden stakes- where in 1288 one of Vietnam’s most famous General Tran Hung Dao planted  hundreds of stakes deep inside the cave prior to a battle with an invading Mongolian army).
