Overview:

Bach Ma National Park is one of the best birding hotspots in Central Vietnam, located 40 km south of Hue City, in Thua Thien Hue province. This park was established in 1992.

 

Bach Ma National Park is the only strip of Vietnam's primeval forest that connects the sea to the Vietnam - Laos border. This park is also a popular tourist destination, home to many deserted villas formerly used by colonial French officers and Hue’s upper-class families.
