The heritage has an area of ​​6,226 hectares, the buffer zone has an area of ​​6,026 hectares, mostly wetlands and rice fields.``

On June 25, 2014, in Doha (Qatar) capital, the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially registered the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - Ninh Binh province on the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage - the first mixed heritage of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The outstanding global value of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex is recognized by the World Heritage Committee based on three criteria: Culture (Criterion v), aesthe beauty (Criterion vii), and geology. fake

* Cultural values ​​(Criterion v):

Trang An is the most prominent site in Southeast Asia and holds global significance in demonstrating how humans interact with the natural landscape and adapt to the enormous changes in the environment during the period. over 30,000 years. The long cultural history here is closely associated with the geological development of the Trang An limestone massif in the late Canh Tan and Toan Tan periods. This was a period when local residents experienced some of the most extreme clima and environmental fluctuations in earth's history, including the constant flooding of the landscape with water due to sea level fluctuations. In such a compact landscape, there are many sites with different stages and functions, including a unique system of prehistoric human habitation.

*Aesthe value (Criterion v):

Trang An's karst tower landscape is among the most beautiful and fascinating of its kind in the world. Dominating the landscape is a series of 200m high stone towers covered by forests linked together in many places through sharp ridges, embracing deep flooded valleys connected through countless underground caves. Mixed with the forests are rice fields stretching along rivers, with farmers and fishermen living in their traditional way. Visitors traveling on traditional boats steered by local guides can experience the natural environment, feeling comfortable, safe and peaceful. The majes mountains, mysterious caves and sacred temples, pagodas, shrines and palaces in Trang An have inspired people for generations. This is where culture meets the magic, mystery and splendor of the natural world, and where culture is transformed by it.

* Values ​​of geology and geomorphology (Criterion v):

Trang An is a wonderful geological heritage that shows more clearly than other places in the world the final stages of karst evolution in a humid tropical environment. This is an excellent and outstanding model on a global scale. The deep cleavage of an uplifted limestone block over a period of more than 5 million years has created a series of classical landscapes, including towers, cones, closed depressions (or sinkholes), valleys, and valleys. inward drainage valleys (or basins), base caves and underground passages through caves with sediments in them. Of great significance is the presence of transitional forms between the “fengcong” karsts with ridges connecting the towers, and the “fenglin” karst where the towers stand discretely on the alluvial plain. Canh Tan and Toan Tan, the landscape has been completely changed due to many times of sea advance and retreat. marine sediments and shellfish layers.


* Management of the heritage area: Most of the area of ​​the heritage is located in 03 protected areas according to the regulations of the national conservation areas, including: Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Historical and Cultural relic, Trang An - Tam Coc - Bich Dong scenic area, Hoa Lu endemic primeval forest. Management Board of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - An agency under the Department of Tourism responsible for heritage management.

FIRST TIME IN THE AIR

When John Mills was going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time, he was frightened. He did not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air. “I also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t be in control,” says John. “I’m a terrible passenger in the car. When somebody else is driving, I tell them what to so. It drives everybody crazy.”

However John couldn’t avoid flying any longer. It was the only way he could visit his grandchildren in Canada.

“I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn’t let my son, his wife and their three children travel all the way here to visit me. It would be so expensive for them and I know Tom’s business isn‟t doing so well at the moment – it would also be tiring for the children – it’s a nine-hour flight!” he says.

To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aeroplanes. When he booked his seat, he was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet. “I needed to know as much as possible before getting in that plane. I suppose it was a way of making myself feel better. The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the moment. The first one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA. It can carry up to 524 passengers and 3.400 pieces of luggage. The fuel for aeroplanes is kept in the wings and the 747’s wings are so big that they can carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000 kilometres a year for 70 years. Isn‟t that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very interesting information about the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going to travel to Canada, I still couldn‟t believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the air and fly. I was even more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of people!”

The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself. “The take-off itself was much smoother than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air. In the end, I managed to relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was spectacular. I even managed to sleep for a while!

Of course,” continues John, “the best reward of all was when I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful grandchildren. Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn‟t even think of getting on a plane. I had let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world. I can visit my son and family as often as I like now!”

Question: Why did John Mills fly in an aeroplane?

A. He wanted to go on holiday

B. He wanted to try it.

C. He wanted to see his family

D. He had to travel on business.
