Cat Tien National Park Is one of Vietnam important national park in Vietnam highlights;, Cat Tien is about 3 hours drive from Ho Chi Minh city Vietnam, 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. Another sector, Cat Loc, was gazeted as a Rhinoceros Reserve in 1992 upon the discovery of a population of Javan Rhinoceros, an occasion that brought the park into the world’’s eye. The three areas were combined to form one park in 1998.
