Unlike many dry caves, Puong Cave features the characteristics of an underwater cave, where the water flows continuously inside. This factor creates a very different exploration experience, as visitors must take a boat to enter the cave, instead of walking like in regular caves.

Puong Cave belongs to the Lung Nham limestone mountain system, where there is a typical karst topography with many caves, fissures, and underwater rivers. According to geological studies, the cave was formed from the long-term erosion process of the Nang River as it flows through the limestone mountain mass.
The length of the cave is about 300 m, the height of the cave dome is over 20 m in some places, and the average width is about 30 m. This is a space large enough for natural light and water to coexist, creating a landscape that is both majestic and ethereal.
