Hang Son Doong is more than 200 meters wide, more than 150 meters high and 6.5 kilometers long. Before the cave was discovered, Deer Cave in Malaysia was the largest cave in the world. Hang Son Duong is located next to Phung Na King Bang, a national park in Vietnam. The mysterious cave consists of about 150 caves. Interestingly, the research team could measure the volume of the cave but could not find its end. In 2009, Howard, Rimty Phung Na began exploring this cave in King Bang National Park. Limbit and his research team encountered various dangers while exploring the cave. They found poisonous snakes, large spiders, strange animals and unknown plants in the cave. They found small fountains inside the cave. There are many tunnels in the cave. Roads that can easily travel from one province to another in Vietnam. Apart from the fountains, there are several forests inside the cave. From a distance, Hang Son Dong looks like a double-decker bus.

A swift horse on a flying bird
'Running Horse on Flying Bird' is a kind of fine sculpture. It is made of bronze. Also known as 'Bronze Running Horse', this sculpture is 34.5 cm high, 45 cm long, 10 cm wide. It was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD). The sculpture was discovered from the Leithai Tomb in Wuwei, Kansu Province, northwest China. It is now preserved in the Kansu Provincial Museum. The swift horse was the fastest and most effective means of warfare, transport and communication in ancient China. Strong cavalry was an essential condition for the victory of the Han dynasty forces in the counterattack against the invasion of the invading Huno nation. Cavalry is the only way to protect the peace and security of northern China. The people of the Tai Han dynasty loved horses more than any previous dynasty, and considered the majestic horse a symbol of national dignity, strength, and glorious fame. Hence, many effulgent horse figures are found in Han dynasty sculptures. The most amazing example of this is the swift horse 'Flying Horse on Flying Bird', the pose of this galloping swift horse is very beautiful. Head held high, tail wagging, head tilted slightly to left, three legs of horse raised to zero, only right hind leg resting on a winged flying bird 'swallow'. Tejaswi's immense strength is derived from the strong body of the horse. However, his movement posture is like a light flying posture. As a result, people forget that the horse's entire body weight rests on a small flying swallow. The 'Flying Horse on Flying Bird' sculpture is a combination of the high level of intellect, rich imaginative power, romantic spirit and technical excellence of the artists of the Han Dynasty. It is an invaluable treasure of ancient Chinese sculpture.
