Ha Long Bay, Son Doong Cave named as the most breathtakingly beautiful places
In the list for 2015, Ha Long Bay in northern Quang Ninh province ranked third while the Son Doong cave in central Quang Binh province, in the seventh place.
Located 165 km from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, Ha Long Bay is an area comprising 1,600 islands and islets.
The majority of these land masses have not been touched by humans and have managed to retain their beauty since their creation. It is this that enabled it to be listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, GlobalGrasshpper said.
Meanwhile, located approximately 500km south of Hanoi, the Son Doong cave, the largest in the world, is more than 200m wide, 150m high, and about 9km long. It houses a jungle and a river, and could fit a 40-storey skyscraper within its walls.
For centuries, men have mulled upon the existence of hollow Earth – a theory that states that the Earth is hollow. If hollow Earth did exist, than the Son Doong cave would be a testament to its existence. The cave is so large that humans exploring them would look like ants. The Son Doong cave is evidence of the world’s beauty, inside and out, the website said.
Son Doong Cave - Attractive destination in the next 20 years
The US online news aggregator has released a list of famous places in the world which will become “hotspots” for visitors over the next two decades. One of the places cited is Son Doong cave – the world’s largest natural cave in Viet Nam.
Son Doong cave is considered an interesting destination for a 7-day tour with discovery of underground rivers, caves and camping activities.
