Quảng Trị Province

A province with the World Heritage–listed Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park, known for giant cave exploration and Vietnam War sites.

Quang Tri lies in the northern part of central Vietnam, and after the 2025 administrative reorganization it merged with the former Quang Binh Province. In the former Quang Binh area, Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park is a World Natural Heritage Site with Phong Nha Cave, Paradise Cave and Son Doong, one of the largest caves in the world; cave exploration, stream tubing and jungle trekking are all popular. The former Quang Tri area is known for Vietnam War sites such as the Demilitarized Zone, the Vinh Moc Tunnels, the Quang Tri Citadel and the Hien Luong Bridge. The dry season runs roughly from February to August, when cave expeditions mostly operate. The gateway is Dong Hoi Airport, and the North–South railway passes through Dong Hoi and Dong Ha.
