Tràng An
Limestone karst massif in Ninh Bình whose caves and rock shelters, such as Hang Trống, hold evidence of human occupation from at least 37,000 years ago. Mid-Holocene sea-level rise flooded the surrounding plains and isolated the massif; later it held Hoa Lư, Vietnam's capital from 968 to 1010.
