The Tien cave 1 and 2 (the Tien cave has two branches: Tien 1 and 2) belongs to the system of the Tu Lan cave. After a pause to adjust the route with the local authority of Quang Binh, Tien cave 1 continues to be exploited for tourism. Meanwhile, the Tien cave 2 - one of the 57 newly discovered caves in Quang Binh - will be exploited for tourism for the first time.

Tien cave 2 has 2519 meters long. The deepest point is 94 m above the ground. In front of Tien 2, there are 2 water sources. The door has about 3 meters high but only 1.5 meters wide. The most important feature of this cave in Quang Binh is that the ceiling is covered by stone veins with magical colors. The ceiling of the cave has about 400 meters long and 30 meters high.

In 2016, the expedition of the British Royal Association of Caving in partnership with the University of Natural Sciences in Hanoi and the Office management of the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park led the investigation and exploration of caves in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.
