The cave is pretty small, maybe enough for just one person. There's a table that President Ho Chi Minh worked, while there's another table down the stream where he worked everyday.

The water at Pac Bo (meaning the "water source") is very clear and supposedly drinkable. It's be good if you visit the cave and have some time by the stream to taste the local tea and recall how nice it was living and working here.
