It is a recreation place for locals and tourists, with various trees and biodiversity, a unique geological region and a direct motorway to Mizoram state in India by the Haka-Thantlang-Sarsichauk road.

As a trademark of the Chin State, cherry trees, white rhododendrons, and red rhododendrons bloom in the National Park, and wildlife animals are living in pastures, including critically endangered species such as wild goats, mountain goats, leopards, and pangolins.

A unique geological region with waterfalls and natural reefs, along with small bats in caves, is about a person’s height. Thus, the area is declared Kyiyeeyan Mountain National Park.
