Dau Go Cave Hang Đầu Gỗ

The second room on the same landing

Early cave beside Thiên Cung: walk this chamber on the same landing, inside a 3–4 hour route. It is one of the earliest known caves on the bay, and Hồ Chí Minh visited. Ba Hang comes later, by small boat on the water. Pair the two rooms, since the island is one stop.
