Cat Ba National Park

Cat Ba National Park is an exceptionally unique park within Vietnam's national park system, being the first in the country established with both forest and marine ecosystems. As the core zone of the Cat Ba Archipelago World Biosphere Reserve and a Special National Monument and Scenic Site, Cat Ba National Park is a prime example of typical Asian tropical and subtropical marine-island ecosystems. These include primary tropical rainforests on limestone islands, mangrove forests, coral reefs, intertidal zones, cave ecosystems, saltwater lakes, bays, coves, and lagoons. These ecosystems are adjacent and interconnected, creating an incredibly rich landscape and habitat. The park is also the only conservation area in Vietnam and the world that sustains small populations of the Cat Ba Langur.
