Cat Ba Island, UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Vietnam.
The island extends across 262 square kilometers, featuring limestone formations, dense forests, and three main beaches along its coastal perimeter.
Archaeological discoveries near Ben Beo harbor indicate continuous human settlements on Cat Ba Island dating back approximately 6,000 years.
The name Cat Ba derives from ancient Vietnamese words meaning Women's Island, referencing a legend about three women from the Tran Dynasty.
Visitors reach the island via regular ferry services from Haiphong city, with accommodations ranging from basic guesthouses to resort complexes.
The Cat Ba National Park protects numerous species, including the Cat Ba langur, a primate found exclusively on this island.
