The tourism sector of Quang Tri Province in north-central Vietnam has proposed inviting the British Royal Cave Association for a survey to comprehensively evaluate Van Tien Cave, which has an underground stream, and to investigate other unexplored caves reported by locals.

Ho Van Hoan, deputy director of the Quang Tri Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, announced on Thursday that the department had submitted a proposal to the provincial People's Committee to survey Van Tien Cave in Tria Village, Huong Son Commune, Huong Hoa District.

Local media have covered the cave extensively due to its charming and breaktaking natural beauty, according to the provincial department.

Situated in the Bac Huong Hoa Nature Reserve, Van Tien Cave was discovered in 2020 and is currently being preserved.

In 2020, the provincial department teamed up with the district’s administration and some relevant units to carry out a preliminary survey of the cave.

According to locals, several caves in Cat and Tria Villages have yet to be explored.

The provincial department proposed scouting the area, marking locations, and positioning the entrances of the cave in June.

The tourism sector also hinted at inviting a group of experts from the British Royal Cave Association, or speleologists from a travel firm in Quang Binh Province, to do the survey in August.

Van Tien Cave boasts impressive stalactites of all shapes and sizes but it has yet to be tapped for tourism activities.

At the bottom of the cave, a beautiful underground river system is flanked by two large lakes which house fish and shrimp.
