Dong Van Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark

UNESCO Global Geopark, inscribed 2015, in Vietnam. Visit Quan Ba’s "Heaven’s Gate" for panoramic views over winding roads, mist-covered mountains, and lush valleys. Travel along the stunning Ma Pi Leng Pass, rising to 1,200 metres, and admire sweeping vistas of deep canyons, dramatic limestone peaks, and the winding Nho Que River. Explore Dong Van in bloom: from October to November, the hillsides and rice terraces burst into pinkish-white buckwheat flowers, and from January to February, peach and plum blossoms transform the landscape into a romantic spectacle.
