Full Day Tour To Explore Van Long – Kenh Ga Floating Village

Van Long is a legendary land and an amazingly beautiful landscape for tourism, while at the same time, the largest mangrove nature reserve in the northern delta, Ninh Binh province. Van Long reserve is on the area of 2,643 hectares in seven communes of Gia Vien district. In the Van Long forest, there are 457 species of plants, eight of which are listed in Vietnam's Red Book. There are 39 species of animals, including nine precious species such as languor, Tibetan bear, chamois, Loris, and a red-faced monkey. There are nine reptiles listed in Vietnam's Red Book such as grass-snake, varan, slow and harmless boas, and gecko.

Located not far from Hoa Lu ancient capital of Vietnam, Kenh Ga Floating Village is known as one of the most rural areas in the Red River Delta. The village s a remarkable place where tourists in Vietnam travel can see its inhabitants’ life on the river with their own eyes. Kenh Ga, set on the banks of the Hoang Long River, is a remarkable place, not only because it is surrounded by the same massive rocks that dominate Hoa Lu, but also because for most of the year the entire community lives on the water itself. The floating village of Kenh Ga receives relatively few visitors compared to nearby Hoa Lu and the peoples' aquatic way of life has changed little over the centuries.
