For tourists who love to travel, this is a rare opportunity to admire the beautiful and interesting natural landscape and unique lifestyle on the vast, immense sea.
In particular, the journey down to An Giang to visit Tra Su cajuput forest - the place with the most typical characteristics of the flooded ecosystem - will leave an impression in the hearts of tourists with many emotions that are difficult to describe in words.
With a trip on a sampan (boat) gliding over the green water fern carpet covering the water surface and the dense lotus and water lily beds. Arriving at the wharf, the experience of rowing a sampan into the bird sanctuary is even more interesting with the chance to witness with your own eyes birds such as: white-throated warblers, Ma storks, doves,... and two species listed in the Vietnam Red Book: Giang sen and snake-necked storks (diêng dien). When dusk falls, this place is filled with the bustling sounds of more than 70 species of birds flying back to their nests, like a rustic symphony of nature.
Above all, visitors also have the opportunity to transform into real farmers, personally going down to the fields to harvest water chestnuts, water mimosa flowers, and catch fish... Especially when the young linh fish come back early this year, visitors sitting in boats on the canal can also encounter schools of fish drifting back, which is very interesting.
The specialties of the flood season will be processed into rustic dishes carrying the flavors of the river countryside such as fried linh fish, grilled snakehead fish served with young lotus leaves, linh fish hotpot with sesban flowers... making them unforgettable for gourmet diners.
