Dau Go Cave, also known as the Cave of Wooden Stakes, is one of the largest and oldest caves in Halong Bay. Located on Dau Go Island, the cave is steeped in legend: it is believed that General Tran Hung Dao hid wooden stakes here during the 13th‑century battle against Mongol invaders, giving the cave its name.
The cave features three main chambers, each filled with spectacular stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by colorful lights. Its vast size and historical significance make it a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. French explorers once called it the “Grotto of Wonders,” highlighting its grandeur.
Visitors can reach Dau Go Cave via Halong Bay cruises, with tours offering guided walks along paved pathways inside the cavern. It remains one of the most popular attractions for those seeking both geological marvels and historical tales.
