Untouched and mysterious caves, rocky islands with different shapes and diversified ecosystem etc are experience visitors may find after a day of exploring Bai Tu Long National Park. It can be seen that this place is endowed by the nature with a unique and charming beauty.
Bai Tu Long National Park covers an area of 15,783ha, including 6,125 ha of floating islands. There are more than 80 large and small islands forming 3 main island groups of Sau, Tra Ngo and Ba Mun in the national park. The ecosystem is supposed to be the most diverse and plentiful in Southeast Asia with 6 basic marine-forest eco-systems, including mangrove forest, tropical rain forest, coral reef, seagrass beds, intertidal zone and caves. The most rare and precious species with scientific values in the national park include tortoise-shell, coral, abalone, yellow monkey , sea turtle…
Cai De cave is one of the immensely pristine ones in Bai Tu Long National Park with full of surprises, particularly the shimmering million-year-old stalactites of different shapes and thousands of bats hiding on stalactites.
Passing Cai De cave, visitors come to Tai valley. Tai valley and Cai De cave are attractive magnets for those who love adventure tourism in Bai Tu Long National Park.
Ba Mun island is the next attractive spot which lures tourists thanks to the quite large population of golden deer – the only one in the Northeast of Vietnam. Furthermore, there are a variety of other animals such as deers, monkeys, langurs, sea birds etc. Ba Mun is now the largest natural wildlife conservation area in the Northeast region.
The final location in the journey discovering Bai Tu Long National Park is Cai Lim valley which is highly evaluated by senior experts from the ASEAN Center for Biodiversity thanks to its unique values in terms of ecology, science, education and training. This is our precious gift bestowed by the nature, serving conservation, scientific research and eco-tourism development in the near future as well.
