We stopped here as part of our day long cruise through Halong Bay. Yes, just as others mentioned, it was very crowded and we had to pause and wait a bit in line. Despite that, it was a beautiful sight to see this natural wonder. There are many stairs you need to go up and down. Had great photo opportunities... More

The way to Thien Cung is a perilous one, covered on both sides by thick forest. We were astonished in front of the very animated and... More
