The complex consists of 2 limestone caves formed millions of years ago: the upper cave and the lower cave, in fact, the upper cave is located at the bottom of the mountain because of the openness, also known as Thien Cave, while the lower cave is a hundred-deep cave. The meter above has 2 small entrances with many poor nooks and crannies, also called Nang Tien Cave.

High cave is located deep in the mountain, almost year-round without sunlight. The cave is nearly a hundred meters long with many dark corners deep in the rocky mountains, this is an ideal shelter for bats.
