...or on the islands in Ha Long Bay, where polished stone tools as well as traces of activities from the Stone Age and Bronze Age were found from more than 1,000 to 20,000 years ago.

Up to now, many caves have become scenic spots such as Nguom Ngao Cave (Cao Bang), Nguoi Xua Cave (Ninh Binh) and especially the famous caves in Ha Long Bay or Quang Binh .
