| Phong Nha - Ke Bang is a national park in the central Quang Binh province of Vietnam, about 500 km south of Ha Noi and 260 north of Da Nang. The park was recognised in 2003 as the World Natural Heritage site in Vietnam by UNESCO. The park land is one of the world's two largest limestone regions and the site is home to several hundred caves and grottoes. Long underground passageways are adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. In 2005, a new species of gecko was discovered here by a group of Vietnamese biologists together with biologists working for the park, Cologne Zoo in Germany and the Saint Petersburg Wild Zoology Institute in Russia. |
