| Hanoi -Cuc Phuong National Park (full
day) |
Tropical plants and
exotic animals abound in the jungle region of
Thanh Hoa, making this park home to an
extraordinary variety of species.
With 25,000
hectares and 140 km South of Hanoi, Cuc Phuong is
the first National Park of Vietnam which was
established in 1962. The botanical richness of the
forest is impressive as it supports a wide variety
of flora species and patches of primeval forest,
including ancient trees with thick clusters of
roots, and parasitic plants and ligneous
creepers.
Some tree species have been
introduced from Burma, India, and Borneo. Clusters
of orchards grow near cave entrances, where the
moisture conditions and light are
ideal.
Varieties include thousand-year
dracontomelum and parashorea trees which can be
visited in a one or two hour hiking, and coral,
vanilla, snow-white, and butterfly orchids
everywhere. Large mammals inhabit the park
including panthers and bears, but rarely appear,
so the most popular animals you can see are
monkeys, gibbons, flying squirrels and pheasants.
There are also over 120 species of birds and many
varieties of beetles living here, and April and
May arrive swarms of butterflies. At night,
million of cicadas create a deafening din, and
million of fireflies flicker about.
Lying in a
limestone area, Cuc Phuong includes numerous
caves. At "Nguoi Xua" (Cave of Early Man), two
ancient tombs have been discovered, along with
Neolithic remains and evidence of stone
implements; there have been similar finds at Trang
Khuyet (Crescent Moon), Thanh Minh, and Con Mong
Caves. Hang Dan Cave is known for its bat
population. Hiking in Cuc Phuong is following some
kilometers of Tropical plants and exotic animals
abound in the jungle region of Thanh Hoa, making
this park home to an extraordinary variety of
species.
