Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark

Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark is a UNESCO Global Geopark in northern Vietnam, covering about 2,356 sq km across Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van and Meo Vac districts of Tuyen Quang Province (formerly Ha Giang). Notable for its extensive karst limestone landscape formed over 500 million years, it features deep canyons, towering peaks, fossil sites, and traditional villages of 17 ethnic minority groups, recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as Vietnam's first Global Geopark.

Visitors can expect a vast mountainous karst landscape with limestone peaks, deep valleys, terraced fields and winding mountain passes. The geopark is an open area encompassing towns, villages, viewpoints, caves and heritage sites. Visitors can explore scenic roads by motorbike or car, visit ethnic minority villages, view fossil outcrops and geological formations, and access viewpoints, markets and cultural sites spread across the plateau.
