Bái Tử Long National Park (Vietnamese: Vườn quốc gia
Bái Tử Long) is a protected area zone in northeastern Vietnam. It was
established in 2001, succeeding from the former Ba Mun National
Conservation Zone. It is one of seven Vietnamese amphibian national
parks which has both terrestrial zone and aquatic zone.
It
is located within Bái Tử Long Bay, which with Hạ Long Bay forms an
impressive scenery of sea and islands. Including thousands of islands
and rocks, they create one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
According
to legend, an immense dragon descended to Hạ Long Bay (meaning
‘’Descending Dragon’’) millions years ago, dropping numerous eggs. These
eggs hatched forming thousands of rocks and islands. The tail of the
dragon extended far to the sea, forming Bạch Long Vĩ island (meaning
"The Tail of the White Dragon"). As she returned to heaven, she said
good bye to her offspring at the Bái Tử Long Bay (means "The dragon
parts the offspring").
Now the Park is part of Vân Đồn District, 20 km distant from Cái Rồng town.
