Recently, Phu Quoc National Park has become a fantastic eco-tourist destination in Vietnam travel. Coming here, tourists can see a variety of flora and fauna, bringing special and unique biodiversity values compared to other national parks nationwide.
Phu Quoc National Park, which is located on an island with a mixture of continental and coastal climate, possesses a rich ecosystem of primeval, secondary and indigo forests. Its indigo forests are distributed in the wetlands or the lowlands that is flooded in the rainy season and sloping hills. Phu Quoc National Park The topography of the national park is hilly, although not particularly steep, with the highest point is Mount Chua, at 603 m. Being drained by numerous, mainly seasonal, streams, the only sizeable river on the island is the Rach Cua Can river, which drains the southern part of the national park, and flows into the sea on the west coast of the island. In term of the flora system, Phu Quoc National Park is the ideal environment for more than 470 species of plants and several types of coral reefs offshore. Phu Quoc Island is lowland evergreen forest and the national park supports 12,794 ha of forest, equivalent to 86% of the total area. To date, 929 plant species have been recorded on Phu Quoc Island. At lower elevations in some areas, the national park supports distinctive formations of Melaleuca - one kind of trees that the leaves are evergreen, alternately arranged, dark green and grey-green in color. As regards to the fauna system, a list of 43 mammal species belonging to 18 families and 6 orders was compiled in here. Silvered langur, slow loris, pygmy loris, crab-eating macaque, stump-tailed macaque, small-clawed otter and fruit bats are species of the most conservation concern. Besides, due to the extremely plentiful coral reefs in the south of the island, there are 125 species of fish, 132 species of mollusc and 62 species of sea weed. Interestingly enough, Phu Quoc is also one of the two places in Vietnam where the Dugong, a marine species on the brink of extinction can be found. Phu Quoc National Park proves it to be a good destination for tourists who travel to Vietnam as it offers a wide range of activities such as camping and trekking. It is also ideal for those who want to study the tropical forest. As Phu Quoc develops into Vietnam’s ecotourism capital, the jewel in its crown, the park will become ever more attractive to visitors from around the world. |
