Situated near the southern margin of the Red River Delta, the Trang An Landscape Complex is a spectacular landscape of limestone karst peaks permeated with valleys, many of them partly submerged and surrounded by steep, almost vertical cliffs. Exploration of caves at different altitudes has revealed archaeological traces of human activity over a continuous period of more than 30,000 years. The property also contains temples, pagodas, paddy-fields and small villages.
The Trang An Landscape Complex covers 6,226 hectares within the Trang An limestone massif and is surrounded by a 6,026-hectare buffer zone of mostly rural land with rice paddy fields. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2014, Trang An is a mixed cultural and natural property contained mostly within three protected areas: the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the Trang An-Tam Coc-Bich Dong Scenic Landscape, and the Hoa Lu Special-Use Forest.
