There are many flat alluvial grounds created by rivers and streams. The stone terraces run along the mountainside, along the stream... There are small caves with the door located right next to the stream water, nestled under a stone roof, or submerged under the water surface surrounded by trees.
Mr. Cao Xuan Chinh, former deputy director of PN-KB National Park, once exclaimed: "It's so beautiful that you'll be stunned when you come to this area. If you give me a hut and a bag of rice, I will stay here forever."
This place also has En Cave, which is the gateway to Son Doong Cave - the largest cave in the world to date. Usually in the fall, there are tens of thousands of swallows coming to reside in the cave located in the diving waters of Rao Thuong stream. It is called the diving area because when the river water flows here, it suddenly drops down, disappearing into the ground, as if someone had drank the water.

The water from the source flows into many different cave entrances in the cliffs, merges in the main Khe Ri system and then connects to En cave, then dives into the ground to flow underground to the Phong Nha river system.
The road to the cave has to go through many zigzags with deep lakes and many small, very dangerous caves. After getting bored of wading and climbing, visitors will have to... swim many passages in the cave, then squeeze through small sections of rock. There are deep water channels inside the cave, creating strong feelings for visitors.
In this forest area, the terrain is very suitable for adventure tours, combined with tourism to explore landscapes and experience. Therefore, according to a survey by the University of Natural Sciences (Hanoi National University), the areas of Doong village, En cave, and Khe Ri here have all levels of adventure tourism from lowest to highest.
