With unique artistic, geological, geomorphic, and landscape values and traces of pre-historic life, the Trang An landscape complex of Ninh Binh was recognised by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site in June 2014, becoming the first mixed natural and cultural property in Vietnam. It is also home to a number of attractions recognised as special national relic sites.
