Tràng An is a scenic area near Ninh Bình, Vietnam renowned for its boat cave tours. Tthe Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site 23 June 2014, at the 38th session of the World Heritage Committee in Doha
A visit to Vietnam is incomplete without visiting Trang An.
The tourist boats are safe factory made ones with no seams
There are lots of tourists visiting Trang An
The female rowers can take a boat load of 4 passengers on about half an hour’s rowing sightseeing. I rowed for a while and got tired.
Passenger safety is taken seriously, and all have to wear life jackets although the female rowers do not.
we passed by a temple
the boats enter a tunnel
We entered the subterranean tunnel
it was dark inside as the tunnel was long
there were lights at points inside
at places the roof was low
and the side wall close at times
light at the end of the tunnel
outside at last
ore beautiful scene
we entered another tunnel
this tunnel is shorter
there were no lights inside and we were out in no time
again another tunnel, this one near human habitation or place of worship
a wide and short one
more beautiful scenes
boats of locals are different
another tunnel again!
and shorter too
we finally got ashore
Trang An, Vietnam, was a memorable trip
