Thien Cung Cave, located in Ha Long Bay, is renowned for its spectacular natural beauty rather than its culinary history. However, being situated close to the coastal areas, Ha Long Bay's cuisine is heavily influenced by its proximity to the sea. Over the years, fresh seafood has become the staple of local food culture. The floating markets around the bay area have paved the way for fresh aquatic produce to be a central part of the culinary scene. When visiting the cave, tourists often experience these food traditions aboard cruise ships or in nearby restaurants rather than inside the cave itself, which is preserved as a natural attraction.
