Một vùng đất lặng lẽ nhưng không hề tĩnh lặng
Nằm cách Hà Nội khoảng 82km, khu bảo tồn Vân Long trải rộng trên diện tích hơn 2736 ha, là vùng đất ngập nước lớn nhất vùng đồng bằng Bắc Bộ. Vân Long không có tiếng động cơ ồn ào, cũng không có dòng người tấp nập. Ở đây, bạn chỉ nghe tiếng mái chèo khua nhẹ, tiếng chim gọi nhau giữa không trung, và đâu đó là tiếng lá xào xạc vọng lại từ dãy núi đá vôi kỳ vĩ.
