I visited Bai Tu Long National Park and was quite satisfied. The natural scenery here is truly impressive, offering a relaxing and close-to-nature experience. Our group tried walking along the small trails; the space was very quiet, especially suitable for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. However, I regret that there were few signposts and some areas were not very clean. But overall, this place is worth exploring if you have the time.
