Son Doong Cave is among the top surreal destinations like extraterrestrials.

Dianne Apen-Sadler is an editor and writer for many famous magazines and newspapers such as Wanderlust, Conde Nast Traveller, The Nation News, Daily Mail... Recently, in the British travel magazine Wanderlust, she introduced to the world's readers 9 destinations that offer "extraterrestrial" experiences. Among them is Son Doong in the "cave kingdom" of Quang Binh, Vietnam.

According to Dianne, Son Doong Cave is very difficult to measure in absolute size. The cave is known as the largest cave in the world with a length of 9km, “enough to fit a New York City block with room left over”. Many of the world’s tallest stalagmites are also found here, reaching up to 80m in height, and an underground river flows through the cave.

Visitors can visit this cave on a multi-day adventure tour. However, the number of visitors is limited and reservations must be made a year in advance.

Not only is it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventure travelers , Son Doong Cave is also the setting for the MV Alone, Part II (Alan Walker), the Planet Earth series (BBC)...
