Vinh Moc Tunnels and Phong Nha – Ke Bang in the top 15 most attractive destinations and experiences in Vietnam

Lonely Planet has just announced the list of Top 15 most attractive destinations and experiences in Vietnam. Among them, Quang Tri is honored to have two names included: Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park and Vinh Moc Tunnels.

This not only affirms the outstanding value of local tourism resources but also opens up opportunities to bring the image of Quang Tri closer to domestic and international tourists.

Phong Nha – Ke Bang is considered a “Unique Natural Wonder” located in the North Central region and is ranked by Lonely Planet in the Top 10 unique experiences.

The core zone of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park contains the wonders bestowed by nature.

This is the “forgotten world ” with vast primeval forests and a system of more than 300 majestic caves. The most prominent is Son Doong – the largest cave in the world, which is considered a “unique geological wonder” that nature has bestowed upon Vietnam.

Notably, the Son Doong tour has been sold out until 2026, demonstrating the strong attraction of this heritage. However, Phong Nha – Ke Bang does not only have Son Doong, but also countless other magnificent caves such as Thien Duong, Phong Nha, Tu Lan, En… – places that are still waiting for visitors to explore .

Tourists visit Vinh Moc Tunnels.

Along with adventure tourism, this place is also an ideal destination for those who love ecology, biodiversity research and the pristine nature.

Along with Phong Nha – Ke Bang, Vinh Moc Tunnels is the “Epic from the Underground” – a typical highlight in the journey of historical discovery. Dug deep underground during the fierce years of war, Vinh Moc became a unique “underground village”, where people both lived and steadfastly held on.

Lonely Planet has placed Vinh Moc Tunnels on par with famous landmarks such as Cu Chi Tunnels (Ho Chi Minh City) and Hamburger Hill (Hue) – symbols associated with war memories.

Vinh Moc Tunnels - A great underground military project demonstrating the creativity and strong desire to live of the people of Quang Tri province during the war.

Experiencing here, visitors not only get to see the great military construction with their own eyes but also feel the indomitable spirit, creativity and strong desire to live of the people of Quang Tri. This is the profound human value, creating the unique appeal of this historical relic.

At the Vietnam Tourism Awards 2025 Ceremony, the legendary Truong Son Road tourism product - Commander Cave (Thuong Trach commune) was also honored in the Creative Tourism Product category.

This shows that Quang Tri is on the right track in exploiting cultural, historical and natural values ​​to form a diverse tourism ecosystem: cave tourism, historical, ecological and adventure tourism, associated with conservation and sustainable development.

Commander Cave is a "Creative Tourism Product" and was awarded the Vietnam Tourism Award 2025.

Phong Nha – Ke Bang and Vinh Moc Tunnels being in the Top 15 most attractive destinations in Vietnam is not only the pride of local people but also contributes to strengthening the position of Quang Tri on the international tourism map.

This is a clear demonstration of the outstanding value of two heritages – one is a majestic natural wonder, the other is a heroic historical relic – which blend together to create a unique, unforgettable impression in the hearts of every visitor.
