Despite being among one of the early-explored caves, Tien, which is located at the end of system and hidden behind mountains and huge trees, remains lesser known than its cousins. But Oxalis, a tour operator, has recently been allowed to bring tourists here.

The most impressive thing about Tien Cave is its stalagmitic stairs right at its entrance. Sunlight allows the area near the entrance to have a great biodiversity.

The cave's name means "fairy" in Vietnamese and comes from a legend that its beauty charmed fairies, who refused to leave the cave once they came here. Local people consider the cave as a holy site and have reportedly organized important religious events here.

Floors look like terrace fields inside the cave. When it rains, the "fields" will be flooded.
