Lan Ty Valley - Yen Son Heaven Gate

About this location

Lan Ty Valley - Yen Son Heaven Gate nestled within the mountains and forests of Lang Son. Lan Ty Valley and Yen Son Heaven Gate are located within the Huu Lien Special-Use Forest, Lang Son Province. Lan Ty is distinguished by its turquoise lake set amidst the special-use forest, while Yen Son Heaven Gate impresses with its limestone mountain system, sheer cliffs, and Hang Hong (the 'Hole' Cave), a tunnel cave piercing through the mountain. The combination of pristine natural landscapes and unique geological terrain creates a highly potential backdrop for film projects. Lan Ty's landscape is defined by its expansive lake, clear blue water, lush forests, and surrounding mountain ranges. From the Yen Son Heaven Gate area, one can observe Lan Lua village, patches of greenery, and winding trails amidst the limestone mountains. Hang Hong features a vaulted ceiling over 60m high, situated approximately 80m above ground level, offering unique camera angles when shooting from within or from positions on the cliff face. From Lan Ty and Yen Son Heaven Gate, production crews can capture panoramic shots of the lake, mountains, cliffs, caves, trails, and village spaces. This location is suitable for feature films, documentaries, music videos, tourism commercials, or scenes requiring pristine natural settings, rugged terrain, exploration, and adventure themes.
