Cat Ba National Park, National park in Cat Ba Island, Vietnam
Cat Ba National Park covers limestone mountains, tropical rainforests, and coastal wetlands across the largest island in Halong Bay. The protected area brings together different habitats in one place, creating a varied natural setting.
The park was established in 1986 to protect endangered species and natural habitats. This step marked an important moment in Vietnam's effort to preserve its natural wealth.
Fishing communities around the park still practice traditional methods you can see in their daily work. These ways of life connect closely with protecting the marine and coastal environments that surround them.
You can explore the area through hiking trails that are accessible from ferry arrivals. The best time to visit is during drier months when the paths are easier to walk.
The park is home to the Cat Ba langur, a primate species found nowhere else on Earth. Scientists actively monitor these rare animals to help ensure their survival.
