Four new caves have been found at Tu Lan and To Mo in Minh Hoa district in the central province of Quang Binh, according to the local Culture and Information Department.

The dry caves are about 400 metres deep, 40 to 45 metres high and 50 metres wide while the water-filled caves are about 150 metres deep, 20 to 25 metres high and 15 metres wide. They were all discovered north of the Truong Son Mountain Range.
