Phu Quoc National Park (Vietnamese: Vườn quốc gia Phú Quốc) is a national park on Phu Quoc Island, in the Kien Giang Province of Vietnam's Mekong River Delta Region. This park includes land and sea area, protecting oceanic species such as dugong. This park was established by the Decision 91/2001/QĐ-TTg dated 8 June 2001 signed by the Prime Minister of S.R. Vietnam on upgrading Northern Phu Quoc Islands Preservation Zone to Phu Quoc National Park.
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or park:
“Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
