In addition to Vietnam's caves, the list of the world's most beautiful underground attractions also includes Tham Luang Cave (Thailand), Paris Catacombs (France), Cold War bunkers (Albania), Reed Flute Cave (China), Malinta Tunnel (Philippines), and the British National Coal Mining Museum.

An article in the South China Morning Post recounts the journey to discover the world’s largest cave. During a trip to the forest, farmer Ho Khanh discovered the cave’s entrance. However, the sound of rushing water and strong winds discouraged him from continuing into the cave. The next time he went, he could not remember the location of the cave.

In 2007, when the British Royal Expedition conducted a new cave search in Phong Nha-Ke Bang, he also led the team to look for Son Doong Cave but did not find it.

By 2008, Mr. Khanh had rediscovered the cave entrance. In addition to the underground river and lake system, the thriving jungle ecosystem, 400 million-year-old fossils and spectacular geological layers, Son Doong Cave is also home to a number of plant and animal species that exist nowhere else on Earth. Son Doong Cave was measured and with the data collected, British exploration experts announced that this is the largest cave ever found in the world.
