Holding a tray and net in his hands, Dr. Luca Bartolozzi looked
carefully among the trees, leaves and flowers in Cuc Phuong National
Park in the northern province of Ninh Binh.
Summer is an ideal time to visit Cuc Phuong National
Park, the country''s oldest, with its quiet and cool and animals and
plants, including some old trees measuring five meters across.
Cuc Phuong National Park is one of my favourite weekend destinations.
The first national park in the country, it''s a relaxing place to enjoy a
few days exploring tropical rainforest.
The sound of birdsong disturbs the silence. That''s
right, complete silence. Such a welcome break from the buzz of Ha Noi.
No motorbikes, no horns, no market vendors yelling, no drilling. Just
complete and utter silence.
