Ben En National Park, located approximately 50 km southwest of Thanh Hoa City, is a renowned eco-tourism destination in Vietnam. Established in 1992 with the goal of preserving the lowland forest ecosystem in Như Thanh and Như Xuân districts, this national park covers an area of 14,734.67 hectares with a diverse range of landscapes, including hills, rivers, streams, and lakes.
 

Ben En National Park is notable for its evergreen tropical rainforest ecosystem, boasting high biodiversity with 1,389 plant species and 1,004 animal species, many of which are rare and strictly protected. Recently, three new plant species to the world have been discovered here. Dr. Manfred Nienisch from OROVERDE has praised the park's biodiversity.

The park features spectacular natural landscapes such as the large Muoc River Lake with numerous islands, and various cultural and traditional heritage sites like Phu Sung and Dragon Temple. Ben En National Park is also attracting attention with a major project from Sun Group, which is investing nearly 10,000 billion VND ($400M) to develop a high-end resort area combined with conservation efforts.

Ngoc Cave and Can Cave are two prominent attractions with unusual formations and historical value. Ben En is not only an attractive destination for its natural beauty but also embodies the unique cultural and historical values of Vietnam.
