[PHOTO] Discover the beauty of Goc Gang cave

Goc Gang Cave is located in the rocky mountain in the border area between Lung Vai village and Giap Cu village, Lung Vai commune, Muong Khuong district. The cave is about 50m from the main road, so traveling is quite convenient.

From the main road, you have to go through a cornfield of the locals, then you can easily see the very wide cave entrance outside, inside there is a narrow gap leading into the cave.

About 10 meters into the cave, you can see many large and beautiful stalactites created by nature. Although it is hot and sunny outside, it is very cool inside the cave.

On the cave ceiling there are countless stalactites with rich shapes and many colors.

Goc Gang Cave is over 150 m long, the widest section is about 9 m, the height from the cave face to the ceiling is about 7 m. The deeper you go into the cave, the more beautiful stalactites there are, when you shine a light into them, you can see many shimmering colors.

To explore the beauty of the cave, flashlights are indispensable.

The cave is divided into 4 main sections, naturally separated by cliffs, each section has many nooks and crannies, and stalactites. The end of the cave is only about 2 meters wide, enough for a person to crawl through.

Goc Gang Cave is a shallow cave, but inside there is still a stream of water filtered from the rocky mountains dripping down, continuing to form new stalactites.

At the entrance of the cave, there are many weathered mountain snail shells. In 2019, a survey team from Lao Cai Provincial Museum coordinated with the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology to dig an exploratory pit, thereby discovering hundreds of pieces of mountain snails and some pieces of iron. According to the conclusion of the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology, the artifacts found show that the cave is likely to be a place of residence for ancient people.

Currently, Goc Gang Cave is being prepared by Lao Cai Provincial Museum to propose the Provincial People's Committee to recognize it as a provincial-level scenic relic to facilitate the management, protection and promotion of the relic's value, associated with local tourism development.
