Tra Su Cajuput Forest – A Hidden Gem of the Mekong Delta
Located in Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province, Tra Su Cajuput Forest is a stunning ecological paradise that showcases the untouched beauty of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. Covering over 800 hectares, this flooded forest is a haven for biodiversity, home to hundreds of bird species, aquatic life, and rare flora.
What makes Tra Su truly magical is the peaceful green world it offers. Visitors can glide through narrow waterways on wooden boats, surrounded by carpets of water lilies and duckweed, under a canopy of tall cajuput trees. The sound of birds singing and the gentle rustling of leaves create a serene, dreamlike experience.
A highlight for many is the bird-watching tower, where travelers can observe flocks of storks, herons, and other native birds soaring over the vast wetlands. There are also charming walking trails and bamboo bridges for those who want a closer look at the forest life. 1 reply
