Son Doong was discovered in 1991 by a local man named Ho Khanh, but it gained international attention after an expedition in 2009. The cave is believed to have formed over millions of years, shaped by the river that once flowed through it.

The area has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back thousands of years. The surrounding national park has been a protected area since 2001, preserving its unique ecosystems and geological formations.
