    Ha Tinh is a disaster-prone province in the central of Viet Nam. Since the beginning of 2015, this province has experienced three massive floods, causing devastating property damage. The floods razed thousands of homes, damaged numerous irrigation works, roads, schools and healthcare centres. Ms. Nga Tran, a local resident, recalled the last flood, “The flood in June was normal, but the one in September was awful. Water from Ngan Pho River began to submerge the floor, while outside it was still raining heavily. After a while the water was about one meter. I had no choice but to climb up to the attic and stay there for two days.” Like many other residents, all of Ms Nga’s furniture was covered in mud, some was completely damaged for having been soaked in the water for too long. But what worried her most was the loss of her rice crop. Three months after the flood, lots of farmers still struggled with finding enough food to eat. If there is no aid from the government, the situation in this province will get worse.

                                                                  Son Doong Cave

      Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Son Doong Cave was first found in 1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by a group of scientists from the British Cave Research Association.  Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago when the river flowed through the limestone mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground tunnel. In soft limestone areas, the collapse of the tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant domes afterward. The cave is about 200m high, 200m wide, and at least 8 5km long. Especially, Son Doong consists of two entrances, which are unique among explored caves in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Exploring the cave, visitors were surprised with the spectacular scenery of numerous stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are more than 70 meters high. Deep inside the cave exists a grandiose tropical jungle called the “Garden of Eden" by the explorers. The jungle is home to a diversified system of fauna and flora.
