Blue Cave is a limestone cave unique for its bluish-gray cave walls, resulting from mineral and substance changes within the rock. This makes the cave look dimensional and beautiful, unlike typical caves. Shining a light on it further enhances the blue shimmer.

Points of Interest Inside the Cave

• Unseen Cave Walls: Witness the marvel of the cave walls with white streaks contrasting against the bluish-gray surface, a natural work of art.

• Reclining Buddha: In the front hall of the cave, a Burmese-style reclining Buddha image is enshrined for tourists to pay homage before entering the cave.

• Walking Trail: The walking distance inside the cave is not far, about 100 meters (round trip on the same route). The path is relatively flat, with concrete bridges in some sections.
