Hospital Cave, Hai Phong

Such an unusual excursion shows the length and possibilities that can be taken to ensure safety and refuge for hospital. It’s a largely concrete structure formed within the depths of a massive cave in effectively untouched nature. Easiest way to get there is via taxi or hiring moped, small parking area for bikes is available. It is only a short walk and climb of stairs to get to the attraction from the ticket office.

This cave was used as a hospital bunker for wounded soldiers during the American Vietnam war. Entrance fee of $40,000 Dong per person is collected near the scooter parking. The entrance has a steep but short set of stairs to climb. Upon entering the cave you will be self guided around several different rooms which are named according to their usage in the war. There is really no other information provided besides the room names and several plaster models depicting soldiers. I found this sight to be very interesting and even a little spooky. I wish there was more information about the history of this area. Worth a visit in my opinion.
