Sung Sot Cave

It’s beautiful and natural inside the cave. Very crowded and just an occasional crowd control.

산 중앙에 이런 동궁이 있다는게 신기 했습니다. 20240106일에 갔는데 날씨가 너무 좋아 저는 반팔입고 여름엔 동굴안이 너무 덥다고한 참고하셔요. 밤되면 또 살살해지니 바람막이 정도는 챙겨시는게 좋을 듯 합니다. 사람이 많아 가다서다 반복하며 들어가기전에 동굴입구가 좁아 한줄로 들어가면서 조금 밀렸어요. 들어가는 쪽과 나가는 쪽이 달라요. 그래서 하롱베이 여행하실때 꼭 버스 차넘버와 배 넘버를 사진을 찍어두시던가 외우고 다니시면 편리합니다. 단체관광이지만 각자 따로 이동 하시고 막지막에 또 같은배. 같은차를 타고 이동한답니다.

Esta cueva fue descubierta no hace mucho tiempo y es una maravilla en sí misma dentro de la Bahía de Ha Long.

Lovely cave....just too many people

It was a wonderful place that sparks your imagination with a beautiful view of the Halong Bay from the top

Beautiful

非常驚奇

Hermoso lugar, cueva gigante e increíble. Definitivamente se debe visitar. Lamentablemente nos encontramos con muchas personas más, lo que hizo que la experiencia se disfrutara un poco menos por la cantidad de gente. Al parecer los tours van todos a la misma hora

下龍灣知名景點驚奇洞穴 人真的很多，非常值得來參觀

주말에 크루즈 투어로 방문한 승솟동굴에는 사람들이 정말 많았습니다. 티켓을 확인하는 입구 부터 사람들이 길게 줄을 서서 있었고, 동굴 입구까지 계단으로 올라가야 하는데 한 발자국 가서 기다리고 또 기다리기를 반복 했어요. 올라가서 하롱베이 뷰를 즐길 수 있고 사진을 찍을 수 있는데 그곳에서 사진을 찍기 위해 다음 스팟으로 이동하지 않는 분들이 많아 줄이 길었던 것이었어요. 동굴 입구를 지나고 작은 통로를 지나면 엄청 넓은 동굴 내부가 나와요. 정말 멋있는 곳은 그 곳입니다^^ 넓은 동굴을 감상하고 다시 계단을 오르게 되는데 그곳도 멋집 뷰가 펼쳐지는 곳이었어요!! 동굴에는 먼지가 많은 것 같아요~ 기관지가 민감한 사람들은 마스크를 준비하세요~

Large limestone cave and easy to navigate

Massive cave with near life geological features.

大規模な鍾乳洞でした 楽しめました

Let's just say, I was not expecting that! This cave is literally a surprise! I could not believe how big it is and they have it lit up the whole way! What an awesome place to visit if you are going to explore the bay! Highly recommend a visit here if you like caves! Never feel too claustrophobic aside from a couple little hallways but those are few and far between. The cave is just that massive! There are lots of stairs if you struggle with those but my mother in law who has a bad knee was able to navigate the cave okay!

Hang Sung Sot, also known as the Surprise Cave, is a breathtaking cave system located in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. As visitors approach the entrance by boat, the anticipation builds for the awe-inspiring experience that awaits inside. Upon entering Hang Sung Sot, the intricate stalactite and stalagmite formations immediately captivate visitors. The cave's chambers are illuminated, casting a surreal glow on the unique rock formations. The natural beauty of the cave is enhanced by carefully placed lighting, creating a magical atmosphere that feels otherworldly. Exploring the cave's various chambers reveals stunning geological features with imaginative names like the "Lion," "Fairy," and "Buddha." The path through the cave is well-maintained, allowing visitors to navigate easily and fully appreciate the geological wonders surrounding them. As visitors progress deeper into the cave, the scale and complexity of the formations continue to impress. Hang Sung Sot lives up to its name, surprising guests with unexpected shapes and patterns around every corner. The acoustics of the cave add to the experience, creating a sense of tranquility as the sounds of dripping water echo softly. The highlight of the visit is often the expansive "Opera House" chamber, where a large space opens up, showcasing grandiose formations that resemble a performance hall. This chamber offers a perfect vantage point for photographs, allowing visitors to capture the cave's beauty and share the experience with others. Hang Sung Sot provides a memorable journey into the heart of Ha Long Bay's natural wonders. The combination of geological marvels, artistic lighting, and the sheer size of the cave makes it a must-visit destination for those exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site.

2023/12/31到訪，人非常非常多，擠到碼頭進不去，洞裡石頭沒有水滴的，全程好走 入口處有廁所，one way 不可走回頭 很漂亮，這裡原本在海底，下龍灣必去景點

Very cool, well worth the steps to get up to visit the cave and we liked how well laid out the path inside was.

볼만한 장소

동굴 내부에 3개의 공간이 있습니다. 구경하는 코스는 짧지만, 동굴의 웅장함은 정말 대단합니다. 동굴이라서 추울거라고 생각했는데, 지상에 생긴 동굴이라서 오히려 외부(겨울기준)보다 따뜻합니다.

天然形成的洞穴， 很美，有些路窄，要小心，裡面光線夠，是規劃成一條路，不走回頭，這樣很方便，人多時不走散不迷路，僅一個出口，參觀的人很多，慢慢走，但是很值得欣賞與感受。

下龍灣知名景點，裡面景色確實不錯。

As the name “Sửng sốt” (Amazed/Shocking), the cave will bring you the most amazing scene. With the beauty of nature, the cave has a big contribution for the title “One of 7 natural wonders of the world” of Ha Long Bay. It is one of the must-visit location in Ha Long Bay

하롱베이에서 가장 큰 동굴로 무척 웅장합니다. 태고적 자연의 아름다움을 느낄 수 있습니다.

Ok

Totally amazing

Fantastic experience, highly recommended.

Beautiful caves, worth a visit, last chamber is incredible

Super Natural Creation.

Beyond explanation of beauty, just for eyes,awesome views

Our home stay just took us here and through a back entrance which we got to experience here 90% without a soul insight. It’s really peaceful and a must do thing. The cave goes for a good 15 minute with a row boat, but really not in a scary way for people with fears of tight places.

跨年假期到驚奇洞穴旅遊，旅客太多看鐘乳石行程，需要走一個小時^^

A beautiful well maintained limestone caves. Worth visiting .

好美的鐘乳石洞，不輸桂林而且有樸素之美，內洞非常之大，真的很美，很推薦

December, dry season, but still, be careful when you are exploring the cave. It could be slippery when you step on some of the rocks.

Hang sửng sốt thuộc hệ thống di tích vịnh Hạ Long với nhiều nhũ đá đẹp . Đươbgf xá đã được cải tạo giúp mọi người có thể di chuyển đoen giản hơn trong đây nên mọi người yên tâm di chuyển và thăm quan .

Quite well maintained,

值得到訪的山洞

Was a great early morning visit after a boat night stayover, can imagine it gets crazy busy with a narrow staircase most of the way so maybe an early morning visit is worthwhile?

漂亮

Highly recommended. Absolutely gorgeous, a must visit when visiting Hanoi/Vietnam. This was part of my day long tour of Ha Long Bay. Sung Sot / Surprise Cave was the highlight of the tour. The entrance to the cave is located at the top of the cliff almost by the sea. There is a bit of a climb to the entrance. There are proper stairs and railings, so it is quite safe. The cave is large with many chambers. After entering the cave, you will go to the world of fantasy, thinking about the people of the previous era, how they lived in the cave? The cave is quite light and stay close with your tour guide who will explain some interesting sights inside the cave. At the end of the cave, Mithali of Sagar Pahar on top of the hill seemed to me the most spectacular. It is a popular place and there will be many tourists. So, you have to wait to queue or wait patiently to enter the cave because you can't rush here.
