If you like beautiful attractions of Hai Phong (Hải Phòng) and have time to search the information about them, you may hear a lot about Cat Ba National Park (Vườn Quốc gia Cát Bà), one of the most popular tourist eco-tourism destination in Vietnam. Situated in the north-west of Cat Ba Island (Đảo Cát Bà), this archipelago is about 40km far from Hai Phong and is administered by this city. As an impressive biosphere reserve, Cat Ba National Park is recognized as a World Heritage Site of Vietnam thanks to the fresh atmosphere and rich biodiversity. It is not surprising when Cat Ba National Park attracts thousands of tourists each year.

Tourists can visit Cat Ba National Park anytime but according to a lot of reviews and recommendations, the best time to visit here is around June and July when there is a lot of sunshine. The summer is the peak season of Cat Ba National Park as a large number of tourists from Vietnam and international countries rush to this place for admiring the beauty of nature and enjoying the hotness in summer. It is a reason why during this time the cost for flight, tourism services, and accommodation may be much more expensive. Therefore, I would like to suggest you should book the tour and hotel in advance to avoid the cancellation, last hour rush, and other problems.

Furthermore, you should have Cat Ba National Park tour on weekdays instead of holidays or weekends because it can help reduce the possibility of crowds, increasing price and running out of hotel rooms.
