Hà Giang Province, Vietnam
Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark

Diversity is key in this natural wonder.

Filled with highs and lows, the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark in the Ha Giang Province of Vietnam is a sight to behold. This UNESCO Global Geopark is a great example of juxtaposition in nature, with tall mountains such as the Mieu Vac Mount with a height of 1971m standing in stark contrast to the deep canyons such as the Tu San, its depth ranging from 700-800m. The plateau is made up of 80% limestone and fossils dating back to prehistoric times have been found here as well. Fascinating animals such as the Asian black bear and Southern serow roam this land freely. In addition, you can only find the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey, one of the most endangered species in the world,in the Ha Giang Province. The Geopark is also the home of 17 ethnic minority groups and these groups work actively in order to promote the idea of sustainable tourism and conservation to outsiders.
