Cat Tien National Park contains special natural phenomena and has unusual natural beauty.
Cat Tien National Park has a river landscape and lake system of important value to Vietnam, Southeast Asia and the world, created by orogenic processes, subsidence, faulting, transgression, regression and basalt eruption.
The natural lake on the plain has a basin-shaped bottom due to the influence of the tropical climate near the equator, the rainy season, so this basin accumulates water to create large lakes in the middle of the evergreen forest that the locals call "balu". The bau is the habitat of many rare species of creatures with genetic conservation value such as red-necked partridge, green-winged quail, gaur, wild buffalo... Cat Tien National Park has 12 natural lakes together with Dong Nai River and Ta Lai stream, creating a system of interwoven wetland landscapes, with an organic relationship creating a habitat for many beautiful creatures, with educational, aesthetic and conservation value, a fresh resort with many beautiful scenes.

Evergreen forests on basalt plains are important structures that create the wonderful beauty of tropical forests, with closed evergreen forests located on relatively flat terrain (with slopes <3%), forest cover up to 80%.
The Cat Loc highlands were formed by the orogeny process before the Quaternary. This process created a mountainous evergreen forest landscape with outstanding landscape beauty that is home to the One-horned Rhinoceros - a species confirmed extinct in Vietnam and at risk of extinction in the world.
Cat Tien National Park contains special values of biological and ecological processes taking place in the evolution and development of terrestrial and submerged ecosystems.
