Know before you go

• Trang An is an eco-tourism area located in the Trang An World Heritage Complex in Ninh Binh province. This place has been classified as a particularly important national monument by the Vietnamese government and recognized by UNESCO as a Dual World Heritage Site since 2014. Trang An has a system of limestone mountains with a geological age of about 250 million years. Over a long period of time, weathering caused by changes in the Earth, climate shifts, sea advances, and sea recession has created hundreds of valleys, caves, lakes, and lagoons. This scenic spot is worth preserving, as it contains many wetland ecosystems, forests on limestone mountains, archaeological sites, and historical and cultural relics. The Bai Dinh - Trang An - Hang Mua special-use forest complex is currently planned within the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, with outstanding value in terms of natural landscape, cultural history, and geological tectonics, and it is also being developed into an international tourist area.
