Trang An is a very large area, in which eight villages are. It has the same landscape as Tam Coc. Here you have also the karst mountains and you can go a little boat "Small Sampan" down the river. On both sides of the river are mountain ranges. The area of Trang An has more than 100 caves, which not all can be visited.
In some caves visitors can go from one cave to the other one. It is a maze of connected caves. Sometimes you have to put down your head, else you might bump your head on the ceiling.
A comparison with Tam Coc is also wrong. Here are many more caves and there are far fewer tourists. The area of Trang An has 31 valleys, 51 caves (which you can visit) and it has a few caves with a length of 2000 meters, such as: Dia Linh cave, Sinh Duong Cave, Cave May. |

Some caves are under water; other caves are higher and dry. Research has shown in some higher caves, were traces of human activity. This over a period of more than 30,000 years. This should have been probably hunters and gatherers in the mountains, who lived here.
They adapted to the great climatic changes of the environment, especially recurrent flooding of the landscape by the sea after the last Ice Age.
