Inauguration of Cuc Phuong Visitor Center

On the morning of December 1, Cuc Phuong National Park coordinated with the French Embassy in Vietnam to organize the inauguration ceremony of Cuc Phuong Visitor Center.

Attending the event were representatives of the Vietnam Forestry Department, the French Embassy in Vietnam, leaders of the Department of Tourism, the Department of Culture and Sports, leaders of Cuc Phuong National Park, the Provincial Tourism Association, local authorities and domestic and international conservation and nature education organizations.

The old Cuc Phuong Visitor Center was built in 1996. Over time, the information and images were no longer suitable, the functionality was low, the attractiveness and interaction level were low, attracting few visitors.

Implementing the Visitor Center Renovation Pilot Project supported by the French Embassy in Vietnam, Cuc Phuong National Park has built and renovated the Visitor Center. After nearly 2 years of construction, the project has been completed with modern facilities, a scientific and friendly information display system.

Cuc Phuong Visitor Center is divided into 3 areas: "Welcome", "Forest" and "Children's Space". The center is built and designed according to intuitive, realistic, attractive and lively criteria, using many images, artifacts and sounds for visitors to experience.

Coming to the Center, visitors can learn about the rich flora and fauna ecosystem; about the unique traditional cultures of the indigenous people through the information displays. In addition, there is a relaxation space and games to help students understand more about the flora and fauna in the forest.

Every year, Cuc Phuong National Park welcomes about 120,000 visitors to visit, study and experience; of which about 6,000 - 7,000 are students.
