Tam Coc is a place where you should head to enjoy Halong Bay on land. Lush rice paddies, caves and marble mountains all in one place. And, with the fraction of the tourists and the cost. A must see in Tam Coc is Cuc Phuong National Park, where you can see many different bird and animal species as well as breathe in the fresh, pleasant air. Cuc Phuong National Park offers many different tracks depending on what you would love to see. We strongly suggest either arriving early and spending the whole day at the park or coming in the late afternoon for the sunset at the “Bird Park” watchpoint. The entrance fee is only $2.50 (EUR 2)!
