Thien Cung is situated on the southwest side of the bay, 4 km from the wharf outside of Halong City. It is located in a small range of islands that resemble a throne embracing two super grottoes at its core. The way to Thien Cung is perilous, covered on both sides by thick forest. After entering a narrow gate, the magnificent, 130 m long grotto opens up. In the last chamber of the grotto, a natural gushing stream of water bubbles throughout the year. Here there are three small ponds of clear water. One path meanders out of the grotto.
