taCommentInfo-imageBased on 1,552 review
Highlights:
The Sua Trench is a natural cave surrounded by dense greenery and trees, filled with crystal clear waters. The water in the cave is turquoise blue, and when the sun shines into the cave, the vegetation is reflected on the shimmering water, making the scenery especially gorgeous. Here, tourists can challenge the fun of high-altitude diving, and of course, they can also slowly descend to the water's edge along the wooden ladder, and take a dip in the cool natural swimming pool to relieve the heat.
