The Sung Sot cave is on the same island with
Trinh Nu
cave. The path to Sung Sot is quite
steep and is lined with shady trees. The
cave has 2 chambers. The outer chamber
is square and is often referred to as
the waiting room. The cave's ceiling is
approximately 30 m high. The walls are
almost perfectly smooth as if it was
built by man. The walls generate a
variety of colors that blend with the
setting of the area. The path to the
inner chamber is approximately 3m wide.
The inner chamber is known as the serene
castle.
The formations in the chamber
take the form of sentries conversing
with one another, animals in varying
poses etc. In the middle of the chamber
stands a formation which resembles a
general surveying his troops. There is a
side entrance which is approximately 6m
in height. The light reflected from the
moving water outside causes the
formations inside the chamber to
seemingly come alive. According to the
locals, this was the reason the cave was
named Sung Sot, from the awe-stricken
reaction of the visitors to the cave. |
