In the rainy season, Hang En cave in central Vietnam isn't someplace you'd want to go swimming. The Rao Thuong River, which courses through the cave, surges 300 feet and covers the otherwise picturesque beaches seen in the photos below, according to National Geographic.
But in the dry season, the river recedes, leaving a surreal paradise like few other places in the world.
David W. Lloyd described Hang En in a piece for The New York Times' travel section in 2011:
At 300 feet in height and 600 feet across, the cavern is big enough to fit a Boeing 747 with room to spare. The space was flooded with rays of natural light coming in from an arch high above us. The beams of light illuminated a yellow sand beach hundreds of feet below, surrounding a calm turquoise pool.
