About Kenh Ga
Kenh Ga is a village on the Hoang Long River where, for generations, boats have been the main way to get around. Visitors take a rowing boat along the river past homes, fish farms and limestone hills, often continuing to Van Trinh Cave.
Nearby, a natural hot spring feeds a resort with pools. The area sees far fewer visitors than Tam Coc or Trang An.
