Cat Tien National Park drawing tourists
For enthusiasts of ecological exploration, bird
watchers and river adventurers, Cat Tien National Park is a rewarding
destination.
About three hours from HCMC on National Highway 20, Cat Tien is in a winding
section of the Dong Nai River in Dong Nai, Lam Dong and Binh Phuoc provinces.
The park is not only an attractive eco-tourist site but also an archaeological
project associated with culture, history and religion.
Cat Tien's waterfalls create large sand banks like beaches. The biodiversity
includes bamboo woodland, grassland, wetland and primeval forest. The park has
over 1,360 species of flora including 34 listed in the Red Book and many types
of precious woods. There are 77 species of mammal, 320 species of bird, 58
species of reptile, 26 species of amphibian and 130 types offish. Some are
threatened with extinction such as the Java rhino, bull, Asian elephant and
fresh-water crocodile.
Watching the birds looking for food and then bringing it to the tops of the
green trees is a nice experience. So is discovering the green forests and the
secrets of the plants.
Some tree-trunks are hollow but still stand imposingly with other normal trees.
Some have giant roots tied together like greeting gates.
After passing through the forest, travelers should relax on the large rocks and
listen to the birds sing in harmony with the murmurs of the streams and be
dazzled by the waterfalls. Tourists can also visit artifacts of Oc Eo Culture
and many cultural and historical features of ethnic people.
