Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site (11) 2003, the remarkable Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park contains the oldest mountains in Asia, formed approximately 400 (12) years ago. Riddled with hundreds of cave systems - many of extraordinary scale and length - and spectacular (13) rivers, Phong Nha is a speleologists’ heaven on the Earth.
The Phong Nha region is changing fast. Son Trach village (population 3000) is the main centre, with an ATM, a growing range (14) accommodation and eating options, and improving transport links with other parts of central Vietnam.
The caves are the region’s absolute highlights, but the above-ground (15) of forest trekking, the area’s war history, and rural mountain biking mean it deserves a stay of around three days.

My grandma used to begin her day very early. She used to start the day at 4 . o’clock while everybody was still in bed. She used to do all the housework by herself. She used to make clothes for her children and as for her outdoor work, she used to raise chickens and sheep. She also used to help the males to grow vegetables.
There didn’t use to be many pastime activities. Her hobby used to be listening to the radio. In the evening all the family used to sit by the fire in the sitting room where all the family gathered at night to tell tales or discuss family matters such as weddings, harvest time or to assign the next day’s work.
When a member of the family was ill, she used to show him which herbs to use. She collected them from the nearby forest or from the mountain. My grandma used to know so many effective methods to cure illnesses.
