Trang An Ninh Binh Travel in the northern province of Ninh Binh has great historical and geological value, experts declared at an international workshop held in Ninh Binh on July 24.

Through their reports on recent archaeological excavations and geological research, speakers at the workshop said the site has special natural beauty and geological values while featuring heritage that helps paint a picture of how humans live in ancient times.

The workshop aims to build a scientific file on the historical and geological value of the site to submit to UNESCO for recognition as a mixed natural and cultural heritage site title.

According to Prof Paul Dingwall from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the important thing is to prove that the distinguished value of the site involves its scenery and environment.

Trang An Ninh Binh was part of Hoa Lu, the country’s capital more than ten centuries ago, which should be mentioned in the file, Dingwall stressed.

Pham Cao Phong, secretary general of the Vietnam National Committee for UNESCO, said the country has no officially recognised any heritage site in terms of archaeology.

“The Trang An Tourism Complex is the first ever to be submitted to seek a mixed title,” he said.

Dubbed “Halong Bay on land”, the site covers 10,000ha, including the three areas of the Trang An Ecological Site, Tam Coc-Bich Dong Site and former Hoa Lu Capital Area.
