Hang Én, Underground cave system in Quảng Bình Province, Vietnam.
The third largest cave in the world extends 1,600 meters in length, featuring internal jungles, rivers, beaches, and multiple vast chambers.
Local teams and British explorers conducted extensive surveys of the cave system throughout the 1990s, documenting its geological formations and passages.
The name derives from the swift birds that nest near the entrance, representing the connection between natural elements and Vietnamese naming traditions.
Access requires a guided four-hour jungle trek from the nearest road, with tours available through licensed operators who provide necessary safety equipment.
The cave maintains its own microclimate and ecosystem, complete with underground beaches, flowing rivers, and dense vegetation within its chambers.
