The massive stalactites, the blue subterranean river, the silky white sand, and the fresh underground air enhance the beauty and appeal of this location. Each stream of light beams down from the massive cave entrances to make the sight more stunning and spectacular. Son Doong Cave is located in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, in Quang Binh, which is already well-known for its many stunning landscapes. The cave presently holds the world record for the longest cave, and the breadth of the broadest portion can contain two Boeing 747s.

At the beginning of 2021, a well-known travel website called SkyScanner published a list of five Asian cities with the finest food, including Hanoi, Bangkok, Taipei, Fukuoka, and Penang, with Hanoi ranking top. The capital of Vietnam, with its famed Pho, deserves to be at the top of the list because it is popular with foreign tourists.
Furthermore, some dishes such as bun cha (barbecued pork with rice vermicelli), crab spring rolls, com (green rice flakes), tea, bun dau mam tom (a dish consisting of vermicelli, deep-fried tofu, and fermented shrimp paste), and others are equally delicious, contributing to the creation of "a delectable culinary world" in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

Ha Long Bay, together with Son Doong Cave and Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, has appeared in the Hollywood film "Pan" as the "title" of Neverland.
