Hang Dau Go
One of the most beautiful caves in Ha Long is Hang Dau Go. It is situated 8 Kms towards the south of Bai Chay on a limestone islet. There are 90 rocky steps before reaching the entrance of the cave, which has 3 chambers. The outer chamber has marvelous stalactites and stalagmites out of which some have a height of 20 meters. The local people believe that these formations are identical to human forms and are guardians of the cave. This outer chamber has a capacity of 3 to 4 thousand people. The distance from ceiling to floor is about 25 meters and the floor is about 6 meters below the entrance.
