The central province of Quang Binh boasts the most special tourism resources in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, notably Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park with an area of over 120,000 ha, twice recognised by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage in 2003 and 2015 thanks to its geological, geo-morphological, biodiversity and aesthetic values. It is also the first heritage in the region to meet three out of the four criteria for the status.

The locality is also endowed with the longest coastline with a number of pristine, crystal-clear and sandy beaches, and a variety of specialties.

As the native land of the late General Vo Nguyen Giap and labour heroine Mother Suot, Quang Binh also holds special tangible and intangible cultural heritages such as ceremonial songs and Le Thuy folk song heave-ho.
