Explore the majestic mountains of Vietnam

Located in the northeastern tip of the country, the limestone mountains covered by lush green forests occupying 90% of the province's area have endowed Cao Bang Non Nuoc Global Geopark with breathtaking landscapes that captivate people's hearts. As one of three Vietnamese names honored to be included in the UNESCO Global Geopark Network, the majestic beauty of Cao Bang's green mountains and blue waters contains an irresistible appeal.

It is because of this majesty that photographer Marleen Bruwer had a valuable experience when she went on a solo motorbike adventure through the majestic mountains of Cao Bang and the northernmost provinces of Vietnam through the photo series "The Secret to Happiness: A Motorbike Odyssey through Vietnam's Epic Mountains". The photo series was submitted by the author to the Happy Vietnam Photo and Video Contest, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications .
