Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park to get UNESCO recognition for 2nd time
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, which boasts the high-profile Son Doong Cave, which is the world’s largest, is looking forward to its second recognition by the UNESCO as a world heritage site next month.
The management of the park, secluded in Quang Binh Province, is poised to receive a recognition certificate from the United Nations organization for the second time during its third Cave Week, according to Tran Tien Dung, vice chair of the provincial People’s Committee. He added that the second recognition is based on the park’s stunning biological diversity and resplendent landscape.

The aforementioned Cave Week, held on a biennial basis, is slated to run from July 17.
