Phong Nha - Ke Bang

The Phong Na / Khe Bang karst plateau lies in Central Vietnam, and is the oldest major karst area in Asia.

The site consists of two parts: Phong Nha Nature Reserve and Ke Bang forest. Both contain many caves.

The site was proposed in 1999, 2000 and finally 2002, when it was included. The knowledge of the area still is remarkably limited.
