The cave's name means "fairy" in Vietnamese and comes from a legend that its beauty charmed fairies, who refused to leave the cave once they came here. Local people consider the cave as a holy site and have reportedly organized important religious events here.


The cave is about 2 km long with four domes at 70m heigh each


Reefs of stalagmites are seen inside the cave, which is as wide as 50 meters and nearly three kilometers long.


It acres situated between the large mountain ranges and dense canopy, so before proceeding to the cave, visitors will have to pass through the jungle, crossing streams and trekking through the trails.


The most impressive thing about Tien Cave is its stalagmitic stairs right at its entrance. Because sunlight can shine into so the plant should grow quite well here, forming spectacular natural picture.


Unlike many other caves, visitors have to pass a difficult journey to get to the beautiful vantage point, you can admire the spectacular stalactite columns immediately in stores.


Magnificent columns of stalagmites and stalactites can be found about 400 meters from the entrance.


Floor look like terrace fields inside the cave. On rainy days, the “fields” will be full of water as the “pour water season”.


Ceilings are densely marked with lines, which gives the cave yet another a spectacular look.
