Dau Go Cave
A large cave on Dau Go Island named for the wooden stakes said to have been stored here before the 13th-century naval battle on the Bach Dang river. Three chambers, less crowded than Sung Sot and with a French-era inscription near the entrance.

Dau Go Cave is one of the places most visitors to Ha Long Bay make time for. Around 1,600 limestone islands in the Gulf of Tonkin, seen properly only from a boat that stays out overnight.
Before you go: Often included on longer itineraries as the alternative to Sung Sot. Ask which cave your boat visits — they are not the same experience.
