Twelve new caves where humans have never set foot in were recently discovered
in the central province of Quang Binh by experts from the British Cave Research
Association.
With a total length of more than 10km, the caves
also feature underground rivers and are completely pristine, according to
experts.
The three caves found in Bo Trach district are

Four caves in Quang Ninh district are Nuoc Ngam

mountain scenery and sprawling beaches.
