<p align="center"><strong>Ba Bể National Park</strong></p>
<p>Ba Bể National Park is in Bắc Kạn Province in Northeast Vietnam, about 250 km north of the capital city. It became Vietnam’s eighth National Park in 1992 and joined the ASEAN Heritage List in 2004. It is rich in animal and plant life.</p>
<p>There are many places to visit in Ba Bể National Park. One of these is Ba Bể Lake, which is in the centre. The name Ba Bể means three lakes but it is actually one very large lake in three parts. It is 8 km long and 800 metres wide. The lake is beautiful, and Đầu Đẳng waterfall on the Năng River will take your breath away! But the most impressive sight is the Puông Cave. It is over 300 metres long and around 30 metres high. If you sail through the entrance, you can admire the amazing stalactites and stalagmites.</p>
<p>If you visit Ba Bể National Park, don’t forget to wear suitable clothes – warm clothes in the winter, T-shirts and shorts in the summer, and good walking shoes. You also need to bring a hat, an insect repellent and sunblock. You can experience homestay accommodation in traditional stilt houses in the nearby villages, meet with the friendly and hospitable locals, and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals!</p>
