Associated with the epic 'De dat de nuoc' (The Birth of Land and Water) and legends of salvation after the great flood, Lung Van is also known as the 'kingdom of longevity' thanks to its natural mineral water from forest springs and an isolated, purely agricultural lifestyle. In terms of cinematic aesthetics, this place is a natural film studio with perfect depth and layering, suitable for historical, period, adventure, and survival film genres due to its magnificent mountainous landscape and traditional Muong stilt house architecture.
