Cuc Phuong National Park is definitely a perfect destination for people who love nature. It is located in Ninh Binh Province, in Vietnam's Red River Delta.

Being the country's largest and first national park, Cuc Phuong consists of forests of very old trees, botanical gardens, a wide range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and colourful butterflies. The forests of the park also provide living sources for local communities. In earlier times, Cuc Phuong was home to the Muong minority people.

It's suitable for visitors to explore the park in almost every time of the year, except rainy season from July to September. On rainy days, trekking trails are very slippery, so it might be unsafe for tourists. Birdwatchers can visit Cuc Phuong from February to April when they can see many kinds of rare birds. Many tourists also come to the park in late April – early May to take stunning photos with thousands of colorful butterflies, which creates the most romantic scenery ever and visitors can feel being lost in the wonderland.
