What people say

Ryanne Dean
"On the northeastern tip of the island, Viking Cave is a major collection point for outrageously valuable swifts' nests, the key components of the Chinese speciality bird's-nest soup. Nimble collectors scamper up fragile bamboo scaffolding to the roof of the cave to gather the nests."
"While visitors are prohibited from entering the cave, many tour boats reduce their speed to provide a clear view. The cave earned its deceiving name due to the ancient boat graffiti left behind by Chinese fishing junk crews passing through over 400 years ago."
"Viking Cave is accessible only by boat, and while visitors are not allowed to enter the cave due to conservation efforts, boats often stop nearby so tourists can observe the cave's entrance and the bamboo scaffolding used by nest collectors."
