PHONG NHA KE BANG - BEST PLACE FOR ADVENTUROUS EXPLORERS

PHONG NHA KE BANG - BEST PLACE FOR ADVENTUROUS EXPLORERS

Phong Nha-Ke Bang is one of the world's largest karst regions with 300 caves and grottoes. They extend about 70 kilometers (43 mi) with the world's longest underground river, as well as the largest caverns and passageways ever discovered. The government of Vietnam declared Phong Nha-Ke Bang a national park in 2001 to protect the cave and grotto system as well as the ecosystem of the limestone forest there.

Location

Phong Nha-Ke Bang is located in the Bố Trạch and Minh Hóa districts of central Quang Binh Province, in north-central Vietnam, about 500 kilometers south of the nation's capital, Hanoi. The park borders the Hin Namno Nature Reserve in the province of Khammouan, Laos by the west, forty two kilometers east of South China Sea.

World Natural Heritage Phong Nha Ke Bang

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is located in a limestone zone of 200,000 hectare in Vietnamese territory and borders another limestone zone of 200,000 hectares of Hin Namno in Laotian territory. The core zone of the national park covers 85,754 hectares and a buffer zone of 195,400 ha.

Exploration

Champa inscriptions carved on steles and altars in the cave give evidence that people had inhabited the cave long before Vietnam annexed the area in the Nam Tien southward expansion.

In 1550, Dương Văn An became the first Vietnamese man to write about Phong Nha cave. Phong Nha cave has been depicted in nine urns in the Citadel of the Nguyen Dynasty in Huế. In 1824, king Minh Mang conferred the title "Diệu ứng chi thần" (Han Tu: 妙應之神) on Phong Nha cave. Nguyen kings bestowed the title "Thần Hiển Linh" (Han Tu: 神顯靈).

The cave is so large that it took much time to draw a map
