Cat Tien National Park Is one of Vietnam important national park in Vietnam, Cat Tien is about 3 hours drive from Ho Chi Minh city, It protects one of the largest areas of lowland tropical rainforests left in Vietnam. Cat Tien national park was protected initially in 1978 as two sectors, Nam Cat Tien and Tay Cat Tien.
