VietNamNet Bridge – The plateau was recognized by the UNESCO as one of the 77 geological parks in the world and the second in Southeast Asia on October 3.
The park covers four districts of Meo Vac, Dong Van, Yen Minh and Quan Ba, totaling over 2,300sq.km, with nearly 250,000 residents. Up to 80 percent of the plateau is covered by limestone.
Scientists have discovered 40 locations which have special values in terms of natural resources in Dong Van.
Dong Van is home to nearly 20 ethnic groups, with diverse cultures and traditions, which make the plateau an interesting destination for tourists/visitors.
VietNamNet’s Le Anh Dung captures the life in Dong Van:

 |
 |
| The house of the H'mong King. |
 |
| An ancient stone tomb. |
 |
| A market. |
 |
 |
| Taking cattle and animals to the market. |
 |
| Playing pan-pipe at the market. |
 |
| Men drink rice alcohol. |
 |
 |
| The biggest problem in the plateau is water shortage. |
