Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, located in Quang Binh Province, is in a limestone zone of 2,000 km² in Vietnamese territory and borders another limestone zone of 2,000 km² of Hin Namno in Laotian territory. It is famous for its large systems of 300 caves and grottos. The park derives its name from Phong Nha Cave, which contains many rock formations, and Ke Bang Forest. The plateau on which the park rests is one of the finest and most distinctive examples of a complex karst landform in Southeast Asia. This national park was listed in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 2003 for its geological values as defined in its criteria. In April 2009, a team of British cave explorers of the British Caving Association, led by a local farmer named Ho Khanh, conducted a survey in the park and re-discovered Son Doong Cave, now considered the largest cave in the world. This survey brought the total discovered length of the cave system to about 126 km, with many areas still not well explored. Even before this discovery, Phong Nha held several world cave records, including the longest river as well as the largest combined caverns and passageways. 29.
