Located in Lung Khuy village, Quan Ba district, known as the First Cave of the Plateau, the Lung Khuy (dragon in the rock) cave was discovered in early 2015, officially opened to tourists on November 12th of the same year.
Lung Khuy cave is developed in the limestone formed in the ancient sea more than 400 million years ago. Around the cave is the peak cluster-depression karst landscape with many cones, dolines, hanging valleys, travertine terraces etc. on a planation surface at 850-1100m asl. The cave follows a northwest-southeast fault with long and large rooms, few branches, and amazing speleothems of numerous forms e.g. King’s column, stone lion, nine-cascade waterfall or girls’ silk-like hairs etc. Visitors may also hear the melody of water droplets that are falling from the cave ceiling. In particular there is also a legendary "Fairy’s well" inside the cave. During holidays, festivals etc. people, far and near, come here to ask for water, pray for the good weather, good crops, good health, happiness, and having kids as they wish etc.
According to a survey by the Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources in 2016, Lung Khuy is 517.5m in length, 31m in depth, a total area of 14,983m2, with 4 entrances at elevations of 875-891m asl.
