Ha Long Bay, Mt. Fansipan and Phong Nha Cave have been nominated as “new natural wonders of the world” in the first round of a contest sponsored by the New Wonders organisation.

The three sites and another 166 around the world have been nominated by the public in a voting contest held by the organisation.

The contest is being held in three stages, with the first done last July and the second in December.


The third round will end o­n December 31 this year and is expected to narrow the field to 20 new natural wonders. The final voting and selections will then be done in September 2009.
