Sung Sot Cave is one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Halong. Setting foot in Sung Sot Cave at the first moment, tourists may realize that the cave has a very small area. However, when they pass through a rocky slot and enter inside, they will be surprised by the huge expansion of the area inside. In the past, when French tourists visited Sung Sot Cave, they were so amazed by the majestic beauty and the huge expansion of the area (about 10,000 m2 in width) that somebody exclaimed "Grotto des Surprises", which means a cave of the surprising things. From that time, the cave has been called as Sung Sot Cave (Surprising Cave).
