The new Quang Tri combines two major travel themes: exploring the caves of Phong Nha and visiting war relics in the DMZ. A Carnival is suitable for long, multi-day trips between Dong Hoi, Phong Nha, Dong Ha, and Hue.
From 2025, Quang Tri Province includes the former Quang Binh Province area, so Phong Nha – Ke Bang is now part of Quang Tri.
