Nearly VND 7 billion has been invested in installing the new service.

The zipline runs above the Chay River into Toi (Dark) Cave, allowing tourists to slide into the cave or release themselves for a river bath.

The new service is expected to attract visitors to discover the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, especially adventure lovers.

Thanks to new tours and services, in first eight months of 2014, Quang Binh province has welcomed 2.4 million visitors, an increase of 138% when compared to the same period last year.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is in Quang Binh province, 500 km south of Hanoi. The park consists of 300 different caves and grottos with limestone structures and the oldest karst formation in Asia, dating back some 400 million years. It is home to what is credited to be the longest and largest cave in Southeast Asia.
