LUNG KHUY Cave — Ha Giang (Quan Ba) ▶️

Lung Khuy Cave – you should visit this beautiful place if you are in Tam Son.

- Lung Khuy Cave (Động Lùng Khúy) – almost easily accessible cave near the town of Tam Son (Quan Ba District) in Ha Giang Province. Ha Giang Province is one of the most interesting places in the north of Vietnam, thanks to Dong Van Karst Global Geopark. Lung Khuy Cave is also part of this geopark. If you travel to this province, you should definitely visit this place, it’s near the QL4c road.
- The cave is located in a mountain area between the mountains and there are a few ethnic villages in the area, and you can still watch the lives of ethnic minorities. Lung Khuy Cave is approximately 300m long and was open to the public and foreign tourists in the end of 2015.

- Lung Khuy Cave is easily accessible from the town of Tam Son (Quan Ba district). The cave is located about 7 km from the town of Tam Son and the entire road (see below) is concrete, made to the village under the cave. You can ride a motorbike or use some mototaxi if you do not travel with a travel agency. If you come to the village, you have to walk about 1.5 km uphill to the entrance to the cave, the way is marked and you can not get lost. Motorbikes are left in the village (paid small car park).

- The journey will also offer some interesting views of the surroundings and mountain areas. The town of Tam Son is located about 50 km from the city of Ha Giang and can be your first major stop in this province. There are some small local buses from Ha Giang town to Tam Son, exact departure times are at the Ha Giang bus stop or ask the hotel.

- Mostly you will see some large stalactites, other cave formations, or cave ponds. Throughout the cave, you can easily walk around the built paths, have a ready-made and borrowed flashlight. Even if you are probably only going to this cave, you will not miss the beautiful surroundings of nature (if there is a good visibility).

- The whole area does not belong to the top tourist destinations and therefore the original life in the ethnic villages of the local population is still preserved. You can also see Fairy Mountain (Co Tien), near the town of Tam Son. I recommend to spend a little more time in Tam Son and making walks around, if the weather allows.

(You can also book bus tickets from Ha Giang to Dong Van online)

- There are some guesthouses and cheap hotels in Tam Son town. But you can also try some local homestay in Quan Ba, it is a great experience. A lot of homestays in Quan Ba own Dao ethnic people. Homestay in Quan Ba costs about 10 USD/pp, a lot of homestays have shared rooms and please note: there are limited services. Some homestays have also a parking lot for motorbike. You can book homestay in Quan Ba – Tam Son easily online.

- You can visit the Lung Khuy Cave all year round, opening hours are Monday-Sunday from 7am to 7pm. However, this is true for other mountain sites in Ha Giang Province, if you can avoid a lot of rainy days, rainy days are mainly in the monsoon season – summer months. In the winter (December – February) it may be very cold in the area and it is also good to have some warm clothes. A suitable weather in Ha Giang is the autumn season or spring.

- The only way (if you are not traveling on a motorbike or with a tour agency) is to take a bus to Ha Giang town. There are various buses/limousines from Hanoi to Ha Giang. You can book bus e-tickets from Hanoi to Ha Giang online. Read also this: How to travel to Dong Van from Ha Giang?
