Vietnam has well over 60.000 square kilometres of exposed karst, most of that being located in the north of the country. One of the most important areas is the north-western Bacbo region. This region extends from the border with China to the seacoast of Bacbo gulf in the Southeast over a length of about 400 km and a width ranging from 10 km to 40 km. The deepest cave in Vietnam and Southeast Asia is Cong Nuoc, -600m deep and located in Lai Chau province.
