Lang Co Bay is voted as one of the world’s most beautiful bays by the Worldbays Club in 2009. Seen from above, Lang Co looks like the ribbon crossing the ocean.

Located at the foot of the Hai Van Pass, Lang Co Bay is a town in Phu Loc district, Thua Thien-Hue province. It is completely embraced with one side of deep mountains, and one side of seas. (Photo: VNA)
With an area of about 800 hectares, Lap An Lagoon – known as the Oyster Kingdom of Hue- is also the source that supplies a large amount of seafood for the fishermen of this area. (Photo: VNA)
With over 10 km of white sand, the vast blue waters of the ocean and rainforests on the undulating mountains are not enough to describe Lang Co. Additional, a large mysterious Lap An Lagoon makes it more beautiful. (Photo: VNA)

The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh province has twice been honored as a World Natural Heritage site. This is a testament to its unique geomorphology and global tourism value, as well as countless efforts of Vietnam to increase awareness in the process of international integration.

Over the past two decades, Quang Binh has worked hard to preserve cultural heritage values of the national park toward the goal of sustainable development.

The management board of the national park has actively cooperated with domestic and foreign organizations to carry out scientific projects to preserve the heritage for the local socio-economic development.

In 2003, experts from the Royal British Cave Association discovered Son Doong – the world’s largest cave in the park. The site is important in caving research in the region, promoting the image of Phong Nha-Ke Bang around the world.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park has three forms of tourism, including self-exploration, joint venture businesses, and leasing of forest environment services.

The development of tourism services has attracted an increasing number of visitors to the site. In order to ensure both tourism development and sustainable heritage conservation, the park management board is monitoring and assessing the impact of tourism activities on the caves to mitigate negative impacts on the heritage./.
