Bích Động - Xuyên Thủy Cave is a masterpiece of nature, portraying an ethereal beauty that defies description: a dry cave nestled against the mountainside with an ancient pagoda exuding the essence of the Orient, a water cave penetrating the heart of the mountain - Xuyên Thủy Cave, a meandering branch of the Ngô Đồng River along the mountain slope, and in the distance, expansive rice fields, all combining to create the irresistible allure of this landscape.

Whispering Echo Cave lies at the heart of the national tourist site Hương Sơn, Mĩ Đức district, Hà Tây province, 70 km southwest of Hanoi, and is renowned as the 'Southern Heavenly Cave' (the most beautiful cave in the southern sky). The panoramic view of Whispering Echo Cave
resembles a dragon's head surrounded by jade, with a stalactite mound sitting in the center - Grainy Mound - resembling a dragon's tongue. The large stalactite blocks hanging from the cave ceiling are the dragon's teeth, while the small round mountain peak visible from the cave entrance resembles a luminous pearl.
Deep within the cave, one encounters familiar scenes of everyday life such as: golden trees, silver trees, straw mounds, grain mounds, mother pigs, piglets, and the sound of flowing water day and night. Whispering Echo Cave is closely linked to Buddhist beliefs, with legend holding that Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara left his footprint here while ascending to the Southern Heaven. Hence, at the beginning of spring each year, thousands of pilgrims come here on a pilgrimage.'

Among all the caves mentioned above, perhaps Ngườm Ngao Cave is the most pristine and least affected by human activity. Ngườm Ngao Cave is located in Cao Bang province, only about 3 km from Ban Gioc waterfall, and was formed 300 million years ago.

On the natural rock walls, countless fascinating images have been created by nature such as: golden waterfall, silver waterfall, solitary stone column, divine toad, or stone guitar... especially, the stalactites here have completely different colors compared to other caves due to the presence of limestone and various impurities. In the future, Ngườm Ngao Cave promises to be a tourist attraction of Cao Bang.
