Phuong Hoang - phoenix cave - sits high on a hillside in Vo Nhai district, reached by a climb of several hundred steps, and it opens into three levels of chamber with light coming down through holes in the roof, which lights the formations without electric fitting for part of the day. The hill's shape from below is read as two birds, which gives the cave its name. At the foot, the Mo Ga stream emerges from the rock and runs into a pool used for swimming in summer, so the standard visit is the climb up and the swim afterwards. It is a long-standing domestic destination and quiet on weekdays.
