Originally, Trang An in Ninh Binh was the name of the city at Hoa Lu after the capital of Dai Viet Kingdom (Vietnam then) was moved to Hanoi in 1010 C.E.
Travel Guide to Trang An Ninh Binh Overview
In 2000, the amazing landscape of over 2,000 hectares close to the Dinh and Le Temples at Hoa Lu, which had been well hidden before, was started being explored and researched. They found that the scenic area is home to a rich ecosystem, preserves great geological, archaeological information and historical information. The area was quickly turned into a tourist spot and the name Trang An has been used to refer to this site since then. In 2014, Trang An was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
