New caves and historic artifacts found in Ha Giang

Several new beautiful caves have been discovered in the far north province of Ha Giang, which are believed to have huge tourism potential. Meanwhile, a valuable set of 5 antique stone axes have also been excavated in the Dong Van stone plateau in the same province.

The caves are discovered by the local people of Ta Lung B hamlet while in the process of developing the hamlet to become a Cultural Tourism Village. There are some caves which cover over 500m2 and retain their pristine beauty with hundreds of stalactites taking unique shapes and forms.
