Tien Son Cave, also known as Dry Cave, is a famous beautiful cave in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang area. However, few tourists know about this cave because they have to walk a lot, so it is not well-known and promoted. The road to Tien Son is winding on the mountainside, at an altitude of about 200m above sea level. The entrance to Tien Son Cave is about 1,000m from Phong Nha Cave. The cave was discovered in 1935. Initially, local residents called this cave Tien Cave because of its mysterious and magical beauty. Later, when Phong Nha Cave was discovered to be a water cave, people called Tien Son Cave Dry Cave.

After a period of temporary closure for maintenance, Tien Son Cave will reopen from December 21, 2023. Visitors can combine visiting Tien Son Cave and Phong Nha Cave in 1 day.
