Situated in the centre of the
UNESCO-declared World Heritage area, the Sung Sôt or Surprise
Grotto is on Bo Hòn Island, and is one of the finest and widest
grottoes of Ha Long Bay.Ascending to the grotto, the way is
covered by trees and foliage, and consists of great paved stone
blocks.Inside, it is partitioned into two chambers; the first one
being similar to a wide theatre hall. Many stalactites hang from
the high ceiling, with numerous possible forms and shapes.
