Trang An Landscape Complex in Ninh Binh, often referred to as "Ha Long Bay on land," is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its towering limestone peaks, lush valleys, and winding waterways. As the sun sets over Trang An, the limestone peaks are bathed in golden light, casting shimmering reflections on the tranquil waterways.
Trang An Landscape Complex is Vietnam’s first UNESCO-listed mixed natural and cultural heritage site.
Archaeological discoveries in Trang An reveal over 30,000 years of human activity and adaptation to changing climates and environments.
An’s caves, rivers, and temples tell the story of Vietnam’s rich history, from ancient hunter-gatherers to the Bronze Age and beyond.
Small boats glide through Trang An’s intricate network of subterranean waterways, offering visitors a glimpse of its karst formations.
Trang An’s unique terrain has been repeatedly reshaped by rising and receding seas, leaving behind a stunning blend of mountains, valleys, and water passages.
Boat trips usually operate from sunset until late evening.
Trang An is safeguarded within three protected areas: Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Trang An-Tam Coc-Bich Dong Scenic Landscape, and Hoa Lu Special-Use Forest.
Temples and pagodas dot the Trang An Landscape Complex, hidden in the lush greenery and towering cliffs.
Endowed with ancient relics, serene waters, and magnificent mountains, Trang An is a place of unparalleled cultural and natural significance.
