Many of the caves are partially submerged allowing visitors to enter inside in small boats. The two popular parts of the Tràng An Scenic Landscape Complex for these boat tours are the Tam Cốc Bích Động valley and the Trang An Grottoes. Also of note in the Tràng An Scenic Landscape Complex is the 15th Century Bich Dong Pagoda located on a hill top.
