The Kong – Skull Island blockbuster filmed many scenes in Vietnam, and let’s see which locations will appear in the movie Kong: The Hottest movie in 2017, released on March 9th.
The first location of the delegation is Trang An landscapes, 7 km northwest of Ninh Binh city, 96 km south of Hanoi. Trang An complex is one of the most beautiful and charming karst region in Vietnam and also in the world. You would find no place that have such thick forest floor covered by imposing conical towers of 200 meters height, with self-contained hollows, surrounded by array of mountains, swamps connected thoroughly via the underground river system. The harmonization of the mountain, the river, the forests and the sky of Trang An would create a vivid natural land, make it become a mysterious wonder.
The Skull Island filming location consists of a 2 hectare valley inside Trang An (between Tam Coc – Bich Dong and Trang An wharf area). From Thach Bich wharf, in the vast expanse of the valley, you will have the feeling of being in harmony with nature, enjoy the calm fresh air.
