Lang Son Geopark Pursues an International Recognition From UNESCO
The People's Committee of the northern mountainous province of Lang Son has filed a request with UNESCO to recognize the Lang Son Geopark as a global geopark.
The Lang Son Geopark, covering 4,842 km² in eight different areas, is one of Vietnam's largest geoparks and has distinctive attributes. It features an extensive variety of paleobiological fossils that are 500 million years old, spanning geological, geomorphological, and scenic viewpoints, which indicate that the province was once beneath the sea.
Additionally, the park features numerous remarkable sites, including the low mountain ranges that encircle the valleys and villages of the Yen Thinh commune in the Huu Lung district. It also features caves like Tham Khuyen in the Binh Gia district, once inhabited by prehistoric humans.
Culturally, the park contains several temples dedicated to the deities of the Mother Goddess worship, an element of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, including the Bac Le temple, as well as villages of the Tày and Nùng ethnic groups, each with its own distinct customs.
