Me Cung Cave

Overview Me Cung Cave

Me Cung Cave is located on Lom Bo Island, about 2 kilometers southwest of Titov Island, another popular Halong Bay location. Me Cung Cave is perched on a steep slope about 25 meters above sea level. According to the explanation of many archaeologists, Me Cung Cave is identified as one of the cultural archaeological digs of Halong Bay in early time by the archaeologists (from 10,000-7000 years ago). Due to its intricate inner structure with multiple barriers and restricted space, the locals refer to it as Me Cung Cave. When tourists enter the cave, they may feel as if they are getting lost in a magnificent maze, so it was given the name "Me Cung," which means "maze."

It is belonged to Lan Ha Bay- a part of Heritage - The World Wonder of Ha Long Bay with a very complex structure: multiple compartments, multiple levels, large niches within the scale of the stone roof and a more than 100 meters long corridor. As its name implies, Me Cung Cave is one of many famous attractions in Halong Bay created by the hands of the Mother Nature.

After visitng Maze Cave’s gate, tourists can see a small discreet cave system behind. While walking inside, visitors may get the feeling as if they are entering a great palace of a Persian King. The combination of the light shining from the outer, sparkling stalactites in diverse shapes and sizes drooping like multi-colored curtains make Me Cung Cave shimmering and fanciful like in paradise.

Going out of the grotto and climbing up several rugged stone stairs then looking down, you see a large round lake surrounded by the mountain. It is home to many kinds of fish, shrimps, octopuses, algae, seaweed, and coral. Near the lake is an area of old trees that is well known as an alluring “royal garden”.
