Phu Quoc National Park

Phu Quoc National Park covers more than 31,000 hectares in northern Phu Quoc Island, An Giang Province, encompassing primary evergreen, mangrove and melaleuca forests. Established as a nature reserve in 1986 and designated a national park in 2001, it forms the core zone of the Kien Giang UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The park protects diverse flora and fauna, offers trekking trails and is notable for its biodiversity and conservation value.

Visitors can expect a large protected tropical forest covering the northern half of Phu Quoc Island with dense evergreen forest, mangroves and seasonal wetlands. The park has marked trekking and hiking trails, viewpoints and ranger stations. Visitors can see diverse plant species, birds and wildlife, explore forest paths with a guide, and experience a relatively undeveloped natural environment away from coastal resort areas.

Originally established as Phu Quoc Nature Reserve in 1986, it was upgraded to Phu Quoc National Park in 2001 by decision of the Prime Minister. In 2006 it became the core zone of the Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve recognized by UNESCO, highlighting its importance for conservation of lowland evergreen forest ecosystems in southern Vietnam.

The park is significant for biodiversity conservation and environmental education, protecting traditional forest ecosystems of Phu Quoc Island. It supports sustainable ecotourism and is valued by local communities for watershed protection, forest resources and as a natural heritage site representing the island's natural landscape.
