Thầnh Cao Sơn Temple, Trang An

Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex
Located within Ninh Binh Province of North Vietnam near the southern margin of the Red River Delta, the Trang An-Tam Coc-Bich Dong Scenic Landscape Complex is a spectacular landscape of limestone karst peaks permeated with valleys, many of them partly submerged and surrounded by steep, almost vertical cliffs.

Exploration of caves has revealed archaeological traces of human activity continues through the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Viet Nam, was strategically established here in the 10th and 11th centuries AD.

The exceptionally beautiful tower-karst landscape of Trang An is dominated by a spectacular array of forest-mantled limestone rock towers up to 200 m high, which are linked in places by sharp ridges enclosing deep depressions filled by waterways that are inter-connected by a myriad of subterranean cave passages. These features all contribute to a multi-sensory visual experience that is heightened by contrasting and ever-changing colours - the deep green tropical rainforests, grey limestone rocks and cliffs, blue-green waters and the brilliant blue of the sky. In recognition of its remarkable scenic quality with important archaeological sites, Trang An Landscape Complex was inscribed as a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site (2014).

Visitors, conveyed in traditional sampans rowed by local guides, experience an intimate connection with the natural environment and a relaxing sense of serenity and security. The dramatic mountains, secretive caves and sacred places in Trang An have inspired people through countless generations.
