Le ThanhTinh, the director of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park in the central province of Quang Binh, made an announcement on December 13 that the National Park has discovered an additional 58 caves in the buffer zone.
Mr Tinh noted that some of the new caves are large and valuable. The park’s staff has surveyed several caves and will soon examine the remaining caves.
