It includes three main protected areas: the Huế Ancient Capital National Special Heritage Site, the Trang An Scenic Landscape – Sân Vận – Bích Động National Special Heritage Site, and the Huế Special-Use Forest Area. In 2014, it was inscribed as the world’s first mixed natural and cultural heritage site, becoming Vietnam’s first mixed heritage property.

With a total area of 4,000 hectares, the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex consists entirely of Trang An limestone formations. Meeting all criteria for cultural, aesthetic, geological, and topographical values, it has been recognized as a world cultural and natural heritage site.
