Hong Sun Dong is a remarkable cave known for its vast size and unique features, including two internal jungles and complex weather systems. The cave's high ceilings and dolines allow sunlight and rain to support jungle growth, while also influencing air dynamics. The cave's weather is driven by temperature and pressure gradients, creating strong winds. Additionally, Sundong hosts unique geological formations like large cave pearls, whose formation is still under study. These pearls may result from calcite-rich water processes, influenced by the cave's high ceilings. Further research is needed to fully understand these phenomena.
