Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Located in Bac Kan Province, Ba Be National Park is often called the 'precious jewel' of Northeastern Viet Nam. Unlike the tourist spots near the sea in the north, Ba Be offers a peaceful, mountainous landscape with Ba Be Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in the country. This destination is a great example of sustainable ecotourism, where the protection of rare biodiversity meets the traditional culture of the Tay ethnic minority.
Instead of just sightseeing, travellers can actively join in nature activities. Visitors can explore the lake in traditional wooden boats or trek through old forests that are home to over 400 species of plants and 300 species of animals. To protect this rich environment, the park's management restricts the construction of big hotels to focus on nature conservation.
To keep the area natural and untouched, tourism here is closely connected with the local community. Staying in stilt-house homestays in Pac Ngoi village allows tourists to support the local economy directly while reducing their environmental footprint. Activities like boat tours and guided treks are carefully managed to ensure that no waste disrupts the fragile ecosystem. By focusing on meaningful experiences rather than attracting massive crowds, Ba Be National Park ensures that its natural beauty remains protected for future generations.
