Dong Thien Cung

Thien Cung Grotto, known as the Heaven Palace, is one of the most magnificent caves in Halong Bay. Located high on Dau Go Island, the grotto features a vast interior filled with sparkling stalactites and stalagmites that resemble mythical creatures, towering pillars, and natural sculptures shaped over millions of years. As you walk through its illuminated chambers, you’ll discover dramatic rock formations, intricate patterns, and shimmering walls that create a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Legend says this cave was once the palace of a celestial princess, and its beauty still feels like a scene from a fairy tale. With its impressive size and enchanting details, Thien Cung Grotto is a highlight of any Halong Bay boat trip.
