On 23-June-2013 Trang An in Ninh Binh Province of Vietnam is inscribed to the World Heritage List at a UNESCO meeting in Doha, Qatar. Trang An, 120km south of Hanoi, is a complex of mixed natural and cultural property. Trang An covers an area of 10,000 hectares which is spectacular with a system of rivers and waterways, karst formations alternated by valleys, paddy fields, and villages.

The area of Trang An was also the site of the capital city of Vietnam in the 10th century under the early Le and the Dinh Dynasties. There are centuries old pagodas and temples in the area. The limestone caves preserve valuable geological discovery which reveal traces of human activity 30,000 years ago.
