Cúc Phương National Park

Vườn quốc gia Cúc Phương

Cúc Phương National Park is a forested national park on two limestone mountain ranges, which the park's own site places between Ninh Bình, Hòa Bình and Thanh Hóa provinces, as it names them.

Why go

The park's own site says Cúc Phương was established in 1962 (Wikidata gives 1960), lies on two limestone mountain ranges and has trails through the forest to old trees, caves and Mường villages. It says the Endangered Primate Rescue Center was set up in the park in 1993 as a project of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, alongside conservation centres for carnivores and pangolins and for turtles, and a botanical garden. The park's contact page names the Environment Education and Services Center as the unit for visits and services. This record is the park as an area; its headquarters, gates and centres are not mapped here.
