About this location

Cat Ba National Park - A Majestic Primeval Forest Film Set Spanning over 17,000 hectares on the Cat Ba Archipelago in Cat Hai District, Hai Phong City, Cat Ba National Park is the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago. Established in 1986, it preserves an endemic tropical limestone rainforest ecosystem, ancient karst caves, and serves as the only home to the critically endangered Cat Ba langur. For producers and location managers, Cat Ba National Park offers a pristine, multi-layered cinematic space featuring dense forest canopies, flooded limestone valleys (such as Ao Cach), and high peaks like Ngu Lam Peak, which provides panoramic views of the entire island. The combination of lush mountain greenery, a natural cave system (Trung Trang and Quan Y Caves), and traditional local culture creates a mysterious visual effect, completely detached from the modern world. Infrastructure is conveniently connected via the cross-island road, with comprehensive logistics services available in Cat Ba town to help optimize costs and equipment coordination. This location is an ideal setting for survival adventure, sci-fi, spy action, horror, and historical-nature documentary films.
