Nui Chua National Park, National park in Ninh Thuan, Vietnam
Nui Chua National Park brings together three distinct ecosystems: forested mountains reaching 1,039 meters, coastal waters with coral reefs, and semi-desert terrain. These varied habitats exist side by side within a single protected landscape.
The Vietnamese government established this protected area in 2003 to safeguard rare species and maintain ecological balance in the region. This decision reflected the need to shield the area's natural diversity from threats.
Local grape growers work vineyards around the park using age-old farming practices, supplying the region with wine and fresh fruit. This farming tradition shapes the surrounding landscape and ties the community to the protected area.
Visitors can reach the park through organized tours departing from Phan Rang city, with options for single-day trips or overnight camping stays. These tour options allow travelers to explore the area based on their time and preferences.
The park contains a dedicated sea turtle conservation zone where five different species nest and incubate their eggs throughout the year. These nesting grounds support populations that depend on the protected coastal waters.
