A Belgian television program has taken viewers on a journey into Vietnam’s pristine natural world, highlighting the country’s breathtaking beauty and rare biodiversity.

The latest episode of Le Jardin Extraordinaire (“The Extraordinary Garden”), aired on the evening of February 1 on La Une channel of Belgium’s Radio and Television Broadcasting Federation (RTBF), introduces audiences to Vietnam, an Asian land where nature remains largely untouched, hidden deep within dense forests and towering mountain ranges.
Under the title “Wild Vietnam – Mysterious and Extraordinary Nature,” the journey opens with images of isolated nature reserves, becoming a natural shield, protecting some of the planet’s rarest wildlife species.
In the tropical forests of Vietnam’s northwestern mountains, where human footprints are scarce, pangolins, the world’s most heavily trafficked mammals, continue their quiet struggle for survival.
Leaving the deep forests behind, the journey follows Vietnam’s northeastern coastline to Ha Long Bay, one of the world’s most renowned natural wonders.
Amid the towering limestone karsts and emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, the Cat Ba langur, one of the rarest primates on Earth, continues to survive. Thanks to a strictly protected network of national parks and nature reserves, Vietnam has managed to safeguard these “living treasures” of global biodiversity.
Through Le Jardin Extraordinaire, Vietnam emerges not merely as a destination, but as a world still waiting to be discovered — a land where nature, despite deep scars from the past, continues its quiet and resilient revival, preserving its original values amid the flow of time.
