Het Trang An Eco-Tourism Complex - is called "a beauty complex among the landscapes." It is an "outdoor geological museum" with numerous caves, mountains, valley, water, trees, temples and pagodas. The area is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
According to statistics, the Trang An Eco-Tourism Complex has more than 310 species of higher plants, many algae and fungi. In particular, there are some rare woods and the number of valuable trees, which are used for producing drugs or fruit.
There are about 30 species of mammals, 50 species of birds, dozens of species of reptiles and rare animals such as chamois and leopards.
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. |
