The source describes it as Try local specialities made with star anise, one of the region’s most extensively grown crops, supported by Lang Son’s mineral-rich soils and covering more than 34,000 hectares.Explore the Na La cave system in Van Quan district, where visitors can navigate glittering stalactites, underground streams, and narrow passages that reveal thousands of years of geological formation.Hike to the Na Duong basin, an extraordinary site preserving tropical fossils from 40–20 million years ago, offering rare i. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural.

Evidence and further exploration
