The Trang An landscape complex is a visually spectacular mountainous karst area with numerous caves that have provided shelter to humans for 32,000 years.
The site shows a large variety of karst features, with a high quality fengcong landscape of karst towers and which fengcong to fenglin geomorphic sequence is a text book example and the best of its kind in the world. Especially because of its relative small size, Trang An is a readily visible and comprehensible model of karst evolution.
Trang An WHS comprises three protected areas:
- Hoa Lu Ancient Capital: served as a political capital of Vietnam for 42 years during the Dinh Dynasty from CE 968 to CE 1010.
- Trang An-Coc-Bich Dong Scenic Area
- Hoa Lu Special-Use Primary Forest
