Overwhelmed by grandeur in Geopark in Dak Nong

Dak Nong Geopark has an area of 4,760 km2, stretching across districts Krong No, Cu Jut, Dak Mil, Dak Song, Dak G’long and TP. Gia Nghia (Dak Nong province) has many unique and massive geological heritages formed from volcanic activities millions of years ago.

In July 2020, Dak Nong Geopark was recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark (CVCTC), becoming one of the three Geopark in Vietnam.

The highlight of Dak Nong Geopark is the volcanic cave complex located in many northern districts of Dak Nong province, most of which is in Krong No district.

This cave complex is considered to be the longest and most beautiful lava cave in Southeast Asia. The picture was taken at C7 cave, formed about 10,000 years ago.

Currently, the volcanic caves in the Dak Nong Geopark are serving scientific research, in the coming time, these caves will be exploited for tourism development.

Currently at the foot of the Chu R’luh volcanic area and the cave complex, dozens of roofs of the Ma and M’Nong people have been living for decades.

The majestic Serepok river is located in the northern belt of Dak Nong Geopark with dozens of large and small waterfalls. Downstream is a large black columnar basalt rock between 2 and 5 million years old in the middle of the river, or protruding from the shore bearing fancy shapes.

Lieng Nung Waterfall (Dak Nia commune, Gia Nghia city) is like a white silk strip, associated with the cultural life of the Chau Ma people. Lieng Nung waterfall is located in the tourist route “Resounding the Earth” that Dak Nong province built

In this tourist route, there is also “Sound Museum” – the only museum in Southeast Asia. The familiar daily sounds of wind, water, wood, fire and human life are presented in a novel and unique way.
