Dong Doi (Bat Cave) has an area of over 7,000 square meters, 100m in height
and 930m long. Follow the 240-steps to the entrance of this National historical
and cultural site. The interior of this impressive limestone cave is wonderous in
its riches—from the twinkling, multi-colored stalactites (which eerily resemble
Buddhas, elephants, tigers, eagles…), to the dry lake located in the center of the
cave.

Ang Pine Tree Village is a bucolic vision—traditional stilt houses under verdant
green canopies with a lake surrounded by pine forests. The nearby hills are
cloaked in green tea leaves while the pine forest is speckled with blossoming
flowers and blooms. A pleasant option is exploring the area on horseback. Ang
Village is home to the Thai ethnic people whose culture is very much alive and
evident in their housing, farming, costumes, customs, music and dance. Visitors
are welcomed and encouraged to experience both nature and culture. Dine on
traditional Thai food and try the homemade rice wine, which is drunk from a
gourd with a long narrow bamboo tube.

The past and future blend seamlessly on Moc Chau Island (with nature being
the bond that holds both together). It starts with Bach Long Bridge (White
Dragon Bridge) - the world’s longest glass bridge. Spanning two mountains and
providing breathtaking visuals from every angle. This epic crossing also has a
cliff-side path that slithers along the mountainside.
Once across the bridge you’ll find Chim Than (God Bird) cave with its natural
stalactites, ponds and stone sculptures. While not surrounded by water, Moc
Chau Island is truly an island unto itself. There’s Central Park Lake with its
performing arts water-stage, artificial beaches, amusement parks (ziplines, air
slides et al), bike paths and swimming area. The resort park farming area (with
regulated humidity and clean water source), is a place where visitors can stroll
through fields or fish in streams. The natural culture area and rural tourism
ethnic zone showcase traditional ethnic villages, hosting ethnic festivals and
offering crafts and cuisine of the indigenous peoples. There’s just so much to
experience on Moc Chau Island: The Ecology Tea Garden, The Grasslands
Tourism Area, Experimental Gardens and Flower Park. There are also eco-
friendly, hyper-modern accommodations available, as well as the open-aired,
TaBamboo restaurant, built entirely of bamboo and covered with a thatched
roof.
If it’s an environmentally friendly, outdoor experience you seek, then open the
oyster that is Moc Chau and embrace Vietnam’s “Green Pearl” …
