Phu Quoc National Park

Phu Quoc National Park is a protected area on Phu Quoc Island covering both land and sea with eight distinct ecosystems. These range from mangrove forests to primary forests with towering hardwood trees.

The park received official protection in 2001 and became part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This designation was crucial in establishing long-term safeguards for both land and marine areas.

The forest and sea here play a central role in the lives of nearby communities, who depend on fishing and farming traditions passed down through generations. These practices remain deeply connected to how people understand and use the land today.

The park is accessible through Ganh Dau Village, and guided tours help visitors explore the hiking trails and waterfall locations. Wear proper footwear and bring plenty of water, especially during the warmer months.

The area houses over a thousand plant species and several hundred animal species, including many rare birds and mammals. This biological wealth makes it one of the most species-rich places in the region.
