Location: Cuc Phuong National Park is
located 100km south of Hanoi in Ninh Binh and it is on the borders of three
provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa.
Characteristics: Cuc Phuong National Park is surrounded by several
limestone cliffs, the highest being May Bac, meaning "silver cloud," with a
height of 656m.
The best time to visit Cuc Phuong National Park is during the dry season, from
December to April, when the hard forest rain accounting for 90% of the annual
rainfall is over. The park is conveniently located on the route to several
tourist attractions, including Bich Dong Pagoda, Hoa Lu, and Sam Son Beach. It
was officially opened in 1960 as the first national park in Vietnam. There are
plenty of plants and mammals living in the park. There are an estimated 2,000
different species of flora and the 450 species fauna account for 38% of the
national fauna. The vegetation cover is classified into three types. The flora
is quite a treasure with a wide variety of 1,944 species, 908 genesis and 229
families. Especially it is enjoyable to touch the thousand-year-old cho xanh (parashrea
stellata) and sau (Dracontomelum Duperranum or Dancorra Edulis) trees, 50-70m
high. This natural reserve is covered with 2,000 species of plants. Especially
orchid flowers are abundant with 50 species, some of which blossom and have
aroma all year around. The fauna is diversified represented by 71 animal
species, 319 bird species, 33 reptile species, and 16 amphibian species. Rare
species include the bear, horse, wild boar, tiger, leopard, fox, squirrel,
monkey, etc. A large area, for half-natural breeding, is reserved for raising
wild animals such as the spotted deer, deer, golden monkey, langur (vooc quan
dui), flying squirrel, draco (than lan bay) and for research. The Park is also
home to hundreds. Thanks to the limestone terrain, Cuc Phuong National Park has
a multitude of grottoes, including Thang Khuyet, Con Moong, Pho Ma, and Nguoi
Xua, etc. Quen Voi, also part of the park, is where Nguyen Hue’s army was
stationed before it made its surprise attack on Thang Long and defeated Qin
enemies in the spring of 1789.
Global environmental programs led by the UNDP, United Nations Development
Program, and FFI, Flora and Fauna International, researched the distinguished
primitiveness of the tropical forest and the monsoon influence on Southeast Asia
in Cuc Phuong National Park.
